The United Arab Emirates Government announced official holidays for the public and private sectors for the years 2019. The Cabinet granted equal leaves (14 days) sectors. This decision aims to achieve a balance between the two sectors in the number of official holidays they are entitled to.
Public holidays which happen on Saturday or Sunday are lost for the particular year – thus the average number of public holidays during working days in the years 2000 to 2016 was only 8.9 days. Employees of employers who are not part of the private sector or engaged in non-commercial activities are entitled to a vacation allowance of 5 weeks.
