British media revealed that a Gulf country is considering adjusting the weekend from Friday and Saturday to Saturday and Sunday, in line with the global economy, noting that it will be the fourth Arab country after Morocco, Tunisia and Mauritania.

The British newspaper, The Times, said that the UAE government is looking into this matter. But she did not explain the nature of the sources she relied on, saying only that “the weekend amendment sparked a difference of opinion among citizens, which the UAE government previously denied.”

The newspaper quoted academic Abdul Khaliq Abdullah, who asked whether it is better to keep Friday and Saturday or change it to Saturday and Sunday? The well-known lawyer, Dr. Habib Al Mulla, responded to him, considering that the proposal has several positive aspects, stressing that he is neither with nor against the idea.

 

And the UAE had already made an amendment to the weekend in 2006, referring it to Friday and Saturday to be the first working days on Sunday, instead of the Thursday and Friday holiday that was in force at the time.
