Ajman government holiday has been confirmed for Friday, August 28, 2026, giving government employees a three-day weekend for the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Birthday.
AJMAN: A long weekend is coming up for government employees in Ajman. Friday, August 28, 2026, has officially been announced as a holiday to mark the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), giving eligible employees three days off before returning to work on Monday.
The Ajman government holiday was announced by the Department of Human Resources of the Ajman Government. The holiday applies to government entities across the emirate and will be observed for the occasion of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Birthday for 1448 AH.
Because the holiday falls on a Friday, government employees who normally have Saturday and Sunday off will get a three-day break from Friday through Sunday. Official working hours will resume on Monday, August 31, 2026.
For employees, the timing means an extra day to spend with family, rest at home or simply enjoy a longer weekend without having to use annual leave. However, the announcement specifically applies to Ajman government entities, so workers in other sectors should check the official holiday arrangements that apply to their workplace.

The Department of Human Resources also shared its congratulations with the UAE leadership and the people of the country on the occasion. It extended greetings to His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, and His Highness Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Ajman Executive Council.
The department also expressed its wishes for continued goodness, prosperity and blessings for the UAE and its people.
