The human resources department of the Sharjah government has confirmed that employees will have an additional holiday for the UAE National Day.
In a notice shared on social media, the authority said that the official dates of the holiday will be from Saturday, December 2 to Monday, December 4. Work will resume on Tuesday, December 5.
While these are the same dates that were announced for the UAE’s private sector and government entities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, some of those in Sharjah will have a longer weekend.
Since the emirate is off on Friday and this year’s National Day holiday begins on Saturday, government employees will enjoy a four-day weekend.
