Long Breaks To Look Forward To In The UAE In 2020

We know we know! We’re all working from home (mostly), but holidays are always special right? Now, its another thing that we might not be able to travel anywhere in the near future. But, it’s always fun to look forward to spending time with family. And the good news is, long weekends for 2020 are not over as yet! Thankfully, we have two more to look forward to and the next on is coming in 3 weeks!

Next UAE Public Holiday To Arrive In Less Than Three Weeks!

Isn’t this the news we’ve all been longing for? Well, the next long weekend is likely to fall on 28 or 29 October, marking  Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s birthday.  While this will be a dry day, the weather is much cooler during this time of the year so if you wanna go camping, pitch a tent or enjoy some time outdoors, this might be perfect. But, of course- don’t forget to follow social distancing and yes, wear your facemasks at all times.

And it does not end there! There’s another long weekend coming up in December. Now, this is a sure shot holiday we know of! Martyr’s Day or Dubai National Day falls from December 1 – December 3, which means we can enjoy a relaxed, long weekend.

While a lot of folks like staying in and enjoying the national day celebrations, there are many making use of the holidays for a staycation or a weekend getaway. Besides, there will be big discounts up for grabs, so watch out!

A chai addict, a moody writer and mother to a smallie, my journey as a writer began with The Times of India. And now, here I am in Dubai pursuing my passion and exploring a new city, all in one go!
