2026 Working Days Calendar for Ajman, United Arab Emirates

⚖️ Legal Regulations

The official public holiday list is set by Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024, applicable to both public and private sectors. UAE labour law sets a maximum of 48 working hours per week (8 per day) with specific overtime pay rates. A transferable holiday system introduced in 2025 allows certain midweek holidays (except Eid) to be moved to create long weekends, as decided by the Cabinet.

📰 News

The transferable holiday system was introduced in January 2025, creating flexibility for midweek holidays. The 2026 holiday list is a forecast; official dates for Islamic holidays are subject to moon-sighting announcements. The 2022 shift to a 4.5-day week for the federal public sector and Sharjah's four-day week remain key recent changes.

💡 Insights

The UAE weekend is Saturday and Sunday, with the federal public sector on a 4.5-day week (Friday half-day). Sharjah's public sector has a four-day week (Friday-Sunday off). Residents strategically use annual leave to bridge holidays with weekends, creating extended breaks like a potential six-day break for Eid Al Adha in 2026.
