Major Changes Announced: More Flexibility for Your Holidays

_{The early announcement of UAE public holidays for 2025, made in May, comes with a game-changing twist.

Imagine getting an extra Friday or Monday off just because the holiday fell on a Saturday or Sunday. While this won't apply to major holidays like Eid Al Fitr or Eid Al Adha, many other holidays could be shifted, making your long weekends even longer!}

_{This exciting change applies to both the private and public sectors, meaning more people can enjoy extended breaks.}
