UAE announces 9-day Eid Al Adha school break starting May 25 for students across private and public schools

Eid Al Adha holidays and the mid-term school break are expected to merge into an extended holiday period later this month. Schools are now adjusting revision timetables, exam preparation plans and parent communication strategies to balance academics with family travel and student wellbeing.

According to the UAE’s approved 2026 public holiday calendar, Arafah Day is expected to fall on Tuesday, May 26, followed by Eid Al Adha holidays from May 27 to May 29, subject to official moon-sighting confirmation. When combined with weekends, many students and residents could enjoy up to six consecutive days off.
