The UAE’s Federal Authority for Government Human Resources has announced official working hours for government employees during Ramadan. Offices will operate from 9 am to 2:30 pm Monday to Thursday, and from 9 am to 12 pm on Fridays. Flexible work arrangements will be allowed, with up to 70% of employees permitted to work from home on Fridays, depending on job requirements.
Astronomical calculations suggest Ramadan is likely to begin in the UAE on February 19, as the crescent moon is not expected to be visible on February 17. However, the exact start of fasting will be confirmed only after the official decision of the Moon Sighting Committee.
