With the 52nd UAE National Day coming up, the last long weekend of the year is here
Who doesn’t love a nice long weekend? It’s a great chance to get in some quality time with loved ones or a much-needed getaway, both of which you can now start planning for!
That’s right, next week brings the last long weekend of the year in the form of the 52nd UAE National Day. From fireworks across Abu Dhabi to some delicious flag-coloured meals and massive concerts, there’s no dearth of ways to enjoy the long weekend!
So when exactly is it?
While we’re still awaiting official confirmation from the government, workers across the country in the private and public sectors can expect one day off.

Commemoration Day is observed on Thursday 30 November, while the public holiday for the private sector falls on Friday 1 December.
The official UAE National Day holidays will be on 2 and 3 December, both on a weekend this year. However, with the Friday off, it’s a three-day break at the least, and a slightly longer one if you take 2 more days to bookend it!
Either way, a shorter working week for all. Watch this space for confirmation.
In the mood for quick getaways for the long weekend? Here’s some super quick trips you can take for a winter break!
How about a road trip to Al Ain? Or any of the other beautiful spots in the UAE? The weather’s right for it too.
