directives issued in this regard, it has been decided that the Prophet’s Birthday holiday will be on Friday,
September 5, 2025,” it said.

Following the Prophet’s Birthday holiday, the UAE will celebrate one more occasion this year, National
Day. The UAE National Day holiday is set for December 2 and 3. This is the day when the rulers of the
emirates signed a unification agreement to create the United Arab Emirates, thus transforming the
separate states into one thriving nation. Events and decorations can be seen all around the country to
mark the occasion.
