Ramadan school hours

The Holy Month is expected to begin on or around Thursday, March 23, and finish Sunday, April 23. During this time, schools will be off for at least two weeks for spring break.

Reduced working hours and school hours have yet to be announced but stay tuned for the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) announcement expected soon.

In 2022, those in the public sector worked from 9am to 2pm from Monday to Thursday, and for three hours from 9am to 12pm on Fridays. School timings were also reduced with authorities urged to reduce the homework and assignments.
