Every year in May, UAE residents look forward to one of the most appealing and relaxing long-weekend opportunities in the country. While Arafah Day and Eid Al Adah arrive as vital religious days for worship they also bring along a long public holiday for the Emiratis.
Arafah Day, falls on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah in the Islamic calendar and is considered to be one of the holiest days in Islam. It involves a public holiday in the UAE. This day is usually followed by the three-day Eid Al Adha celebrations, also providing three days of extended public holidays.
