Abu Dhabi: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has announced the Ramzan working hours for private-sector employees throughout the holy month of Ramzan.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) on Tuesday tweeted that the work timings would be reduced by two hours for private-sector employees every day.
On March 3, 2022, the UAE government announced the Ramadan working times for public sector employees.
The working hours would be from 9 am until 2:30 pm from Monday to Thursday and from 9 am until midday on Fridays.
The first day of the holy month of Ramzan 1443-2022 in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Algeria, Kuwait, the Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, Morocco and other Arab countries is predicted to fall on April 2, 2022.
