What public holidays can UAE residents expect in 2026, and how will the new law on transferable holidays create longer breaks?

In 2026, the UAE calendar includes seven public holidays with two confirmed long breaks — including a potential six-day Arafah Day and Eid Al Adha holiday — while a new law allows certain mid-week holidays such as New Year’s Day, Hijri New Year, the Prophet’s Birthday, and National Day to be officially shifted to the week’s start or end to form extended weekends; with Eid Al Fitr offering a likely three-day weekend in March and National Day possibly turning into a four-day break, residents could enjoy multiple long weekends throughout the year. What do you think — does the flexibility of shifting holidays make planning family trips and breaks easier for you?
