Sharjah Public Sector to Get 10 Holidays For Eid Al Fitr 2024

The government of Sharjah announced a one-week holiday for its public sector workers on Monday.

Starting on Monday, April 8, employees in the federal government will have time off until Sunday, April 14. They will then return to their usual working hours on Monday, April 15.

This decision follows the UAE government’s announcement of a one-week holiday for its public sector employees on Sunday.

As Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the official weekend days in Sharjah for federal employees, those who typically work a four-day week will enjoy a 10-day holiday to celebrate Eid Al Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting.

Regardless of when the moon is sighted, the holiday will officially begin on April 8. Ramadan lasts either 29 or 30 days according to the Islamic calendar, and Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal, the month after Ramadan.
