With more than half of 2024 already gone, most of us are eagerly waiting for the next day off to take a break and unwind from our busy schedules. Having time off is always a great way to take a much-needed vacation from the stressors of everyday life. According to multiple surveys the civilians of Dubai like to spend these days in their own unique ways. Some opt for staying in and relaxing while others hop on the first flight to various vacation spots around the world. Some also prefer to utilize this time to work on themselves by joining various meditative or therapeutic retreats through a wellness center. No matter what our plans are, most of us like to plan out our holidays in advance to make sure that we can utilize and enjoy them to the best of our abilities.

Let’s recap the day’s off so far
In the beginning of this year the official UAE cabinet announced a total of 14 days off. The exact days of when these holidays could not be confirmed due to the fact that the Hijri calendar which is based on the sighting of the moon is used to determine these holidays. We did however have a prediction for when these holidays could be. Don’t we all love when a public holiday falls on a Monday or Friday and we get to experience that long weekend bliss? So far, we have been lucky enough to enjoy some long weekends this year like the Islamic Eid Vacations which were prolonged by being combined with the weekends. This made these UAE Holidays 2024 delightful for everyone.
