UAE residents have recently relished a long week of holidays during Eid-Al-Adha and the after effects can still be felt as nobody has quite picked out the working spirit yet. However, it looks like they do not really have to go an extra mile to get into the working mode again as there is yet another long weekend waiting for them!

According to the recent announcement made by Ministry of Human Resources and Emaritisation on their twitter handle, the UAE authorities have announced a holiday on September 13, 2018 for all the private sector companies thus, providing them with a long weekend to relish with families.
