The UAE’s public holiday schedule can be a bit tricky to follow, especially if you’re new to the region. That’s because many holidays are tied to the Islamic calendar, which shifts slightly each year. But here’s the latest on what you need to know.

What’s the Next Public Holiday in the UAE?

The next expected day off is Islamic New Year, also known as Hijri New Year. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, it’s predicted to fall on Thursday, June 26, 2025.

Why Are the Dates Always “To Be Confirmed”?

Good question! Unlike the standard Gregorian calendar most of us use daily, the Islamic calendar is lunar. That means holidays depend on moon sightings, which is why they shift every year and aren’t confirmed until a day or two before.

The Hijri calendar runs about 10 or 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. That’s why you’ll notice dates like Eid and Islamic New Year move earlier each year on the Western calendar.

Could It Mean a Long Weekend?

If Islamic New Year does fall on a Thursday as expected, UAE residents might enjoy a three-day weekend. That’s always a welcome mid-year break but again, we’ll have to wait for the official word.
