Public sector employees in Ajman will enjoy a paid holiday on Friday, August 28, in observance of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) birthday. The Ajman Government Human Resources Department confirmed that all government entities and departments will remain closed for the day, with staff expected to return to their regular duties on Monday, August 31. This decision aligns with the broader UAE-wide directive, which has granted a similar break to both public and private sector workers across the nation.

The upcoming holiday provides a welcomed three-day weekend for many residents, marking the final stretch before the 2026-27 academic year commences. As the UAE continues to follow the Hijri lunar calendar for Islamic observances, residents can also look forward to an extended break in December for UAE National Day. Additionally, under recent regulatory updates, the UAE Cabinet maintains the authority to adjust specific mid-week public holidays to ensure residents can benefit from longer, more continuous periods of rest throughout the year.
