UAE will shift to a working week of four-and-a-half days ending Friday, with a Saturday-Sunday weekend from start of next year to better align its economy with global markets
The decision, which is to take effect next month, makes the Gulf Arab federation one of the few countries in the Middle East to operate on Western hours instead of on a Sunday through Thursday week.
The "national working week" is mandatory for government bodies from January 1 and bucks the regional norm of a full day off on Friday for Muslim prayers, a government circular said on Tuesday. The Western-style weekend, rumoured for years, was announced less than a week after the former British protectorate celebrated the 50th anniversary of its formation.
