The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has announced Friday, August 28, 2026, as an official holiday for government departments, authorities, and institutions to mark Eid Milad un Nabi.
Official working hours will resume on Monday, August 31.
Since Saturday and Sunday are the regular weekend for most government employees, the Friday holiday will give eligible staff a three-day break.
The holiday will not apply to employees working on shifts or those whose duties involve serving the public or operating public service facilities. DGHR said each government entity will determine working hours for these employees according to its operational requirements.
The announcement follows the UAE’s decision to declare Friday, August 28, a holiday for both the public and private sectors on the occasion.
The long weekend will fall during the final days of the school summer break, with the 2026-27 academic year set to begin on Monday, August 31.
