Public and private sectors employees in the UAE will have the same number of holidays during 2019-2020.
The UAE cabinet has approved the move, which is aimed at ensuring a balance between the two sectors and supporting the national economy.
The Government Communication Office said in a tweet that the decision will also help enhance the attractiveness of the private sector for Emiratis.
Here's the break up of public holidays for 2019-2020.
