It has just been announced by the UAE Federal Authority For Government Human Resources that next week we’ll be getting a 3-day-long weekend. Yay!
Prophet Muhammed’s Birthday will be celebrated next week on Thursday, 29 October, meaning that there will be one day off for federal government employees. This also means a long weekend for those who are working.
