Where the dates come from
Fixed holidays follow the UAE Cabinet resolution on public holidays. Islamic holidays depend on the moon sighting: we show the expected date on the Umm al-Qura calendar until the UAE announces it (MOHRE for the private sector, FAHR for federal staff). Each row links to its source.
