Residents have just enjoyed another public holiday with the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) or Eid Al Mawlid Al Nabawi. The annual event was celebrated on the 12th day of Rabi Al Awwal, which fell on Thursday, October 29 on the Gregorian calendar.

Following Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday, UAE residents will enjoy two more public holidays in the month of December for UAE Commemoration Day and UAE National Day, which usually take place close together.

Commemoration Day, which is also known as Martyr's Day, is a one-day holiday which honours Emiratis who have died fighting for and defending the UAE.

Commemoration Day 2020 will take place on Tuesday, December 1.

The final public holiday in the UAE is National Day which will take place on Wednesday, December 2 and Thursday, December 3.

As Commemoration Day and UAE National Day happens close together, we can expect a five-day long weekend!

After these holidays, the UAE will have the first public holiday of 2021 on Friday January 1, for New Year's Day.
