Upcoming Public Holidays in the UAE

As of April 1, 2025, the next public holiday in the United Arab Emirates is Arafat Day, observed on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

This significant day precedes Eid al-Adha, which will be celebrated from Friday, June 6 to Sunday, June 8, 2025.

When is the Next Public Holiday in the UAE?

We’re currently in the middle of Eid Al Fitr 2025, enjoying the festivities, but if you’re already wondering when the next public holiday is… well, we have good and bad news.

The good news? The next break isn’t too far away. The bad news? We’ve got a little waiting to do.

The next official holiday in the UAE is Arafat Day, which falls on Thursday, June 5, 2025. This is followed by Eid Al Adha, which means a long weekend is on the horizon from Friday, June 6, to Sunday, June 8, 2025—plenty of time to relax, travel, or just catch up on sleep!

So, while there’s still some time to go, at least there’s another break to look forward to. Mark your calendars! ⏳✨

The bad news? We’ve got a little while to wait until the next public holiday. The next one is likely to be at the beginning of June for Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha.

The good news? When it finally arrives, it’s going to be a pretty long break—so there’s plenty to look forward to! More details to come on that soon.

According to UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024, published in the Official Gazette, the government has laid out its plans for public and private sector holidays in 2025. So, rest assured, we’ve got more breaks ahead—just got to be patient for now! ⏳✨
