    According to the officials, the “national working week” will be mandatory for government bodies starting from January 1. And, bucks the regional norm of a full day-off on Friday for Muslim Prayers.

    UAE has become the first Gulf country for not having a Friday-Saturday weekend and aligns with the non-Arab world. According to the new timetable, the weekend for the government officials will begin at noon on Fridays and ends on Sunday.
