[ad_1]

The UAE public and private sectors have a holiday in Muharram on the 1st.

According to the Arab Astronomical Center, most parts of the Islamic world may celebrate Islamic New Year-also known as Hijri New Year or Arab New Year, on the same day.

Unlike the Gregorian New Year based on the solar system, the Islamic New Year is based on the lunar system. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar.

According to calculations by the Astronomical Center, this year’s Muharram 1 in most Islamic countries will fall on August 10 (Tuesday).

In early July, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities stated that if Zul Hijjah lasts for 30 days, it is expected that the Islamic New Year will be held on Tuesday, August 10, 2021. However, if the current month of Zul Hijjah lasts for 29 days, then the Islamic New Year holiday will be marked on Monday, August 9.

Public and private sectors in the UAE Will be on holiday On the eve of the Islamic New Year.

The date depends on the moon.

At the beginning of 2021, the Islamic New Year is expected to begin on Thursday, August 12, providing UAE residents with a three-day weekend. However, due to changes in moon observations, the UAE will not celebrate long weekends on Islamic New Year’s Eve.

The next public holidays after August are Martyrs’ Day in November and UAE National Day in December 2021.
