The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a comprehensive list of public holidays for 2027, encompassing both religious and national occasions. Some holidays may stretch into long weekends, depending on their dates and the need for extended breaks. Islamic holidays, such as Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha, are determined by the sighting of the crescent moon within the Hijri calendar, with each month lasting either 29 or 30 days.
Key dates for 2027 include New Year's Day on January 1, which will grant residents a three-day weekend. Eid Al Fitr is expected to fall between March 9 and March 11, based on astronomical calculations, with potential for a six-day break if Ramadan extends to 30 days. Arafah Day is scheduled for May 15-18, followed by Eid Al Adha from May 15-18. The Hijri New Year is projected for June 6, while Prophet Muhammad's Birthday is anticipated on August 14.
The UAE's National Day, December 2-3, will also see a four-day public holiday span from December 2 to December 5. While most public holidays can be shifted within the week at the discretion of the Cabinet, Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha remain fixed according to the Islamic calendar.
