What Happened in the UAE?
The UAE has not declared the exact dates, but we expect that Eid will last from Thursday, June 5, until Sunday, June 8. If a holiday occurs on a weekend, it will not be made up on another day. The UAE Cabinet says that public holidays that take place on weekends should not be postponed.
