Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) birthday, known as Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi, is scheduled for Friday, September 29, 2023. This results in an extended weekend towards the end of September for the UAE, particularly for those following the customary Saturday-Sunday weekend.
Commemoration Day, previously referred to as Martyrs’ Day, is observed annually on December 1. In 2023, it falls on a Friday. Subsequently, the UAE National Day is celebrated on December 2 and 3, which fall on a Saturday and Sunday respectively. Consequently, the final extended weekend of the year will span three days. It will definitely be a weekend of splendour and fireworks.
