New changes could reshape UAE long-weekend planning

The UAE is preparing changes to its public-holiday calendar for 2027, with the revised structure expected to affect the number and timing of official days off.

The changes are being closely watched by businesses, schools, tourism companies and employees because UAE public holidays have a significant impact on travel demand, hospitality, retail and corporate planning.

For companies operating across the UAE, early awareness of the revised holiday structure can help with workforce planning, project scheduling, travel arrangements and customer-service operations.
