The UAE Is Already Winning At 2017 With A Crazy Amount Of Long Weekends

2016 is coming to an end and to be honest, we couldn’t be happier about it. It’s no secret that this year has been somewhat of a struggle and a battle to stay faithful in the human race with various incidents all over the world. But, it’s almost over and 2017 is about to begin and it’s already looking better than its predecessor! January 1, New Year’s Day, falls on a Sunday, so UAE will start the next year with a three-day weekend, plenty of time to *cough* recuperate. We then have a day off in April to celebrate Isra Wal Mi’raj followed by two days off for Eid Al Fitr in June. 

Here is a list of the expect holidays in 2017
