The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) issued a circular announcing that all
government entities, departments, and institutions will observe a holiday on Friday, 13th Rabi Al Awwal
1447 AH, corresponding to September 5, 2025, in commemoration of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.

The Department also stated that official duties will resume on Monday, September 8, 2025.

The Department emphasised that this holiday is in line with the Dubai Government’s guidelines on
religious and national observances. The holiday aims to enable employees to observe this blessed

occasion with their families, fostering a spirit of unity and tolerance.
