The next UAE public holiday is almost here - and with it comes a dry night for the country.

As with all Islamic religious holidays in the UAE, hotels, and restaurants refrain from serving alcohol for 24 hours. The occasion of Isra'a Wal Mi'raj annually is no exception.

In fact, hotels have been notified that alcohol should not be served between 6pm on Tuesday 2nd April and 7pm on Wednesday 3d April 2019.
