Printable UAE calendar 2027 with public holidays

A 2027 calendar for the UAE with the public holidays of Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024, expected Eid dates, Hijri dates, a Saturday and Sunday weekend and a Monday start. The PDF is made in your browser, and your entries are not saved or sent.

January for a calendar year; any other month gives 12 months from that month, for example a September to August school or club year.

Layout

Letter is the usual size in the US and Canada; A4 is used almost everywhere else.

Orientation
Week starts on
Color theme: Teal

Large print has bigger numbers and thicker lines. Ink saver prints outlines only, with no shaded boxes.

Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day. Ramadan and the Eids are marked as expected.

ISO 8601: weeks run Monday to Sunday and week 1 is the week with the year's first Thursday, so 1 to 3 January can be in week 52 or 53. US style: weeks run Sunday to Saturday and week 1 is the week with January 1.

More options

On pages with one month per page.

The working week of the holidays chosen (Monday to Friday unless the country has another weekend), minus the public holidays shown.

Worked out with Jean Meeus's astronomical formulas and checked against the US Naval Observatory. Dated in UTC, so in your time zone a date can be a day earlier or later.

Holiday names stay in English, their official names.

Saka dates follow the Indian National Calendar (in use since 22 March 1957): 1 Chaitra falls on 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year. Hijri or Saka, one at a time.

Your own events, picture and font

An event on 29 February that repeats every year is shown on 28 February in years that are not leap years.

No events yet. Events are printed in their day boxes.

    How to save a calendar file
    Google Calendar (on a computer)
    Go to calendar.google.com. For one calendar: under My calendars, point to its name, select More, then Settings and sharing, then Export calendar (an .ics file). For all calendars: Settings, then Import and export, then Export (a .zip file; you can open the .zip here as it is). The phone app cannot export.
    Apple Calendar (on a Mac)
    Click the calendar's name in the calendar list, then choose File, Export, Export, and save the .ics file. An iPhone or iPad cannot export a calendar file.
    Outlook (classic, on Windows)
    Open the Calendar, select the calendar, then File, Save Calendar. Use More Options to choose the dates and detail, then Save.
    Outlook on the web
    Settings, Shared calendars, Publish a calendar, then download the ICS link. Anyone with that link can see the calendar, so stop publishing it when you are done.

    What is read: each event's title and date, all-day and timed events, events over several days (up to 31 days), and events that repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, with their skipped and moved dates. Repeating events are added for last year to three years ahead. Not read: times, places, notes, reminders, and rare repeat rules (such as "the last weekday of the month"); for those only the first date is added and the list below says so.

    Photo or logo

    Read on this device and never uploaded or remembered. Large photos are made smaller so the PDF stays small, and hidden camera details (such as location) are left out.

    Where
    Fit

    The picture area is on pages with one month per page; a logo goes in the header of every page. Photos use more ink.

    All three are free fonts (SIL Open Font License) and print the same as the preview.

    Off unless you tick it. When ticked, your events and options are kept in this browser on this device only, never sent. Pictures are not kept. Untick it or select Clear to remove them.

    Printed at the top, up to 60 characters.

    UAE public holidays 2027

    The UAE's public holidays are set by Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024, which the government portal u.ae says is "applicable to both, public and private sectors". There are 7 holidays and 12 days off in 2027, 8 of them on working days. Moon-based holidays are expected dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar.

    Date (2027)Public holiday
    Friday 1 JanuaryNew Year's Day
    Tuesday 9 March to Thursday 11 MarchEid al-Fitr (expected), 3 days
    Saturday 15 MayArafat Day (expected)
    Sunday 16 May to Tuesday 18 MayEid al-Adha (expected), 3 days
    Sunday 6 JuneHijri New Year (expected)
    Saturday 14 AugustProphet's Birthday (expected)
    Thursday 2 December to Friday 3 DecemberNational Day, 2 days

    Eid al-Fitr is 1 to 3 Shawwal. If Ramadan lasts 30 days, the 30th day is a holiday too, so Eid al-Fitr can be 3 or 4 days. By the Umm al-Qura calendar Ramadan 1448 has 29 days, so 3 days are expected in 2027. Arafat Day (9 Dhu al-Hijjah) and Eid al-Adha (10 to 12 Dhu al-Hijjah) together give 4 days.

    Still to come in 2026: National Day: Wednesday 2 December to Thursday 3 December 2026.

    The UAE weekend and working week

    Since 1 January 2022 the federal government has a four and a half day working week: Monday to Thursday, and Friday morning until 12 noon. u.ae says "Saturdays and Sundays are the official weekends for the federal government sector." That is why the calendar shades Saturday and Sunday and starts each week on Monday. You can switch the first day to Sunday.

    • Sharjah: the Sharjah government has a three-day weekend, Friday to Sunday.
    • Private sector: companies set their own working week. u.ae notes that most private companies close on Sunday only, and others on Saturday and Sunday.

    Working days per month (under More options) count Monday to Friday, minus the public holidays shown.

    Can a UAE holiday move?

    Yes, sometimes. In 2026 the Hijri New Year was given on Monday 15 June and the Prophet's Birthday on Friday 28 August, next to the weekend, instead of on the Hijri dates. The National Day holiday of 2025 was also given on Monday and Tuesday, 1 and 2 December. So when the 2027 days are announced, a holiday can land a day or two away from the date in the table, especially the Hijri New Year (expected Sunday 6 June 2027) and the Prophet's Birthday (expected Saturday 14 August 2027).

    Why some dates say "expected"

    Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and the other Islamic holidays follow the Hijri (lunar) calendar, so they move about 11 days earlier each year. The calendar works out their 2027 dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar and marks them (expected). In the UAE the moon-sighting committee announces the start of Ramadan and Shawwal, and the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources and the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation then announce the days off for the government and the private sector.

    Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day. The same note is printed at the foot of the PDF. Dates fixed by law, such as New Year's Day and National Day on 2 and 3 December, are not marked expected.

    Questions and answers

    How many public holidays does the UAE have in 2027?

    12 days: New Year's Day, 3 days of Eid al-Fitr, Arafat Day, 3 days of Eid al-Adha, Hijri New Year, the Prophet's Birthday and 2 days for National Day. Eid al-Fitr gets a 4th day if Ramadan has 30 days.

    When is Eid al-Fitr 2027 in the UAE?

    Expected from Tuesday 9 March to Thursday 11 March 2027, by the Umm al-Qura calendar. The actual days are announced after the moon is sighted.

    When is Eid al-Adha 2027 in the UAE?

    Arafat Day is expected on Saturday 15 May 2027 and Eid al-Adha from Sunday 16 May to Tuesday 18 May 2027.

    Are private sector holidays the same as government holidays?

    Yes. Cabinet Resolution No. 27 of 2024 gives the same public holidays to both sectors. The days off are announced for the government by the federal HR authority and for the private sector by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

    Why does the calendar start on Monday?

    The UAE federal working week runs Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday as the weekend since 2022. You can switch the calendar to start on Sunday.

    National Day is 2 and 3 December: in 2027 that is Thursday 2 December to Friday 3 December 2027.
