UAE public holidays 2025: Plan your next big vacation in advance

Dreaming of your next big vacation? To make it easier to start planning, the UAE public holidays 2025 have already been announced. It looks like there are going to be at least 12 public holidays in the country this year, besides an additional day off if Ramadan is a 30-day month.

The early announcement for UAE public holidays 2025 had been made last year. The concerned resolution states that if a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, an extra day off could be announced on the Friday or Monday.

But the aforementioned policy does not apply to Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, it seems. The exact dates are not going to be announced until much closer to some of the public holiday dates as the UAE relies on moon sightings for many major holidays.
