A public holiday is coming this weekend in Abu Dhabi.
Thursday October 29 has been declared a public holiday for Prophet Muhammed’s (PBUH) Birthday.
Workers in the private and public sector will be given the day off giving many the opportunity to enjoy a three-day weekend.
The Integrated Transport Centre (ITC) of the Department of Municipalities and Transport has announced free parking over the weekend.
Parking in Abu Dhabi will be toll-free from 8am on Thursday October 29 until 8am on Saturday October 31.
Looking ahead to more public holidays this year, in December, Commemoration Day will once again be celebrated on December 1, which falls on a Tuesday.
Finally, the UAE’s 49th National Day will then be recognised on December 2 and 3, so with the Commemoration Day holiday, those who work will enjoy three days of holidays and some will enjoy a five-day weekend.
Here are the dates for your diary for 2020:
• Prophet Muhammed’s (PBUH) Birthday – Thursday October 29
