VOICED : Empieza a regir en Emiratos el viernes laborable

The UAE has introduced a new workweek, making Friday a working day to align with Western countries. This change affects public sector employees and schools, with the workweek now ending on Friday afternoon. Historically, the weekend was Thursday and Friday, then Friday and Saturday, and now it is Saturday and Sunday. The private sector can choose its workweek, but many follow the new schedule. This decision is seen as beneficial for business, especially banking, and could attract foreign companies and workers. Sarja, one of the Emirates, offers a three-day weekend as an alternative.
