UAE Marks Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday with Three-Day Break
Posted on Sep 06, 2025 / World
The United Arab Emirates has declared Friday, September 5, 2025, a public holiday for the private sector in observance of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, according to lunar calculations. Since the date falls on a Friday—a normal weekend day in the UAE—it effectively yields a three-day weekend extending through Sunday. The long weekend is expected to spur travel, leisure activities, and family gatherings across the country. This aligns with the broader practice in the Gulf region of celebrating religious observances with extended breaks. Residents and businesses are already adjusting plans to make the most of the unexpected time off.
