The year 2025 brings the ideal opportunity to spend multiple weeks of summer vacation in Dubai. A perfect combination of Eid Al Adha and Islamic New Year allows employees to achieve 17 days off using only 7 days of annual leave—a unique work strategy their supervisors likely want no part in discovering.
The first step entails nine days of leave for Eid Al Adha by using three planned days off.
The Eid Al Adha break encompasses Arafat Day before continuing with three official public holidays. The occurrence of Eid Al Adha and Islamic New Year in June 2025 remains subject to moon sighting but available predictions suggest these dates:
Thursday, June 5 – Arafat Day (Public Holiday)
Friday, June 6 – Eid Al Adha (Public Holiday)
Saturday, June 7 – Eid Al Adha (Public Holiday, Weekend)
Sunday, June 8 – Eid Al Adha (Public Holiday, Weekend)
You can secure a nine-day vacation by taking annual leave for Monday, June 2 together with Tuesday, June 3 and Wednesday, June 4. You can take advantage of a total 9-day break when combining public holidays with weekends starting from May 31 until June 8.
Refrain from work during the nine days of Islamic New Year by consuming four days of leave entitlement.
Muslims should expect the Islamic New Year to appear on Thursday, June 26 after inspecting the moon. To extend this break:
Request four consecutive days of leave starting from Monday, June 23 through Tuesday, June 24, Wednesday June 25, and concluding with Friday, June 27.
You can convert your annual leave days into Friday June 27 following the date change of the holiday. Change your leave plan from Monday to Thursday June 23-26 instead
Taking these four days off as leave allows you to extend your holiday for additional 9 days across June 22 to June 30.
