The circular also states that if Ramzan lasts for 30 days, then the 30th day of Ramzan will be included in the Eid holidays, the Dubai Media Office (DMO) reported.
However, employees working on shifts, those managing public facilities, or those providing essential public services are exempt from this holiday schedule. Their respective departments will determine their working hours based on operational requirements to ensure uninterrupted services.
