Starting March 1, the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims will begin in the UAE. In connection with this, the working hours for government employees have been adjusted for this period:
- Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM;
- Friday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. These changes will not apply to employees whose work requires a different schedule, and staff from ministries and federal authorities may use their approved work schedules during Ramadan, as long as they comply with working hour limits. If you plan to visit the UAE for work during the holy month, make sure to take these changes into account. Also, remember the rules of behavior during Ramadan: do not display aggressive behavior, refrain from listening to music and dancing in public places, avoid speaking
