UAE Public Holidays 2026: Estimated Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha Dates, and Long Weekends

Dubai: While the UAE government has not yet officially confirmed the public holidays for 2026, residents can still plan ahead using reliable forecasts. Based on the updated UAE public holiday law and projected dates from the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, experts have outlined likely days off for the year 2026.

The UAE observes a mix of national, religious, and historical holidays. Dates for Islamic holidays such as Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha are traditionally determined by moon sightings, but astronomers have already predicted approximate dates for 2026 using Hijri–Gregorian calendar conversions (1447–1448 AH).

These predictions serve as a helpful guide for residents planning vacations, staycations, or time off around long weekends and festive periods in the UAE.
