Following the directives of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of
Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai,
the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has approved flexible working hours
and a remote work policy for Dubai government employees during the Holy Month of Ramadan 1446
Hijri (2025).

This policy aligns with the leadership’s announcement of 2025 as the “Year of Community” and
reflects Dubai Government’s commitment to fostering an optimal work environment while promoting
community values.

The policy grants Dubai government employees up to three flexible working hours, provided they
complete 5.5 hours from Monday to Thursday and three hours on Friday. Furthermore, employees
are permitted to work remotely for up to two days a week, depending on the job requirements, work
conditions, and the nature of their responsibilities.
