The government had earlier confirmed the holidays for public sector employees

The UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has announced the official holiday for Eid Al Fitr. Residents could get up to five days off for the Islamic festival, depending on when the Moon is sighted.

The holidays are from Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3 (Islamic calendar months).

Earlier today, the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) announced the same holiday for the public sector.

The UAE had unified the official holidays of public and private sectors, which means Emiratis and expats working in government departments and private companies get the same set of holidays.
