Earlier, it was announced that private sector employees will work for reduced hours during Ramadan. Now, we can confirm the same. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has announced a reduction of working hours for all employees in the private sector in the UAE during the holy month of Ramadan.

Meanwhile, here’s everything you need to know about Ramadan.

As per the new rule, private sector employees will work for two hours lesser throughout the holy month of Ramadan.

During Ramadan, Federal government entities will work from 9am to 2.30pm from Monday to Thursday, and for three hours from 9am to 12pm on Fridays.

Those employed by federal institutions could anticipate to work from 9 am to 2. 30 pm on Monday through Thursday and from 9 am to 12 pm on Fridays during Ramadan, according to plans made for 2022.

Muslims will fast from sunrise till sunset in Dubai on the first day of Ramadan. They must start their fast at 5.03 am and finish it at 6.31 pm.

The moon-sighting committee will determine the precise dates of Eid Al Fitr closer to the time, but Ramadan is anticipated to end on April 21, 2023.

In the UAE, iftars, suhoors, and Ramadan tents are held throughout the city to commemorate the Holy Month.

In the UAE, a four-day weekend will be observed in remembrance of Eid al Fitr this year. It is well known that Muslims in Dubai will observe a 12-hour fast on the first day of Ramadan. For this, they must start their fast at 5:03 AM and finish it at 6:31 PM.
