Looking ahead to the rest of<\/span> 2025, UAE residents have plenty of opportunities to plan some well-deserved time off<\/strong>. While exact public holiday dates are subject to moon sightings (especially for Islamic holidays), there\u2019s already a good outline of when you can expect your next break.<\/p>\n
