Combined with Commemoration Day on December 1 and the regular weekend, you get a four-day break from December 1 to December 4. Take one extra day off and you have five days, enough for a real trip out of Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>This page brings our National Day holiday packages from Dubai into one place. We run 5- to 9-day trips to Almaty, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Europe, with prices starting from AED 2,199. Visa assistance is included where you need it, and we handle the parts that usually slow people down: documents, flight bookings, and hotel confirmations.<\/p>\n<p>For the full date breakdown, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/mapshore.com\/ae\/blog\/uae-national-day-2026-holiday-calendar-getaways\/\">UAE National Day 2026 holiday calendar<\/a>. Want a quick quote? WhatsApp us. We usually reply within two hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Why travel during UAE National Day?<\/h2>\n<p>Most people in Dubai wait for Eid or summer holidays to plan a trip. That means National Day is often overlooked, which is exactly why it works. Hotels and flights are easier to book, airports are less crowded, and destinations like Almaty and Baku feel festive without the peak-season prices.<\/p>\n<p>The weather also lines up well. While Dubai stays warm in early December, Central Asia and the Caucasus are crisp and clear. Russia has proper winter snow. Europe is in Christmas-market mode. You get four or five days that feel like a real holiday, not a rushed weekend.<\/p>\n<p>We have run National Day trips for the past three years. The most common feedback we hear is that people wish they had booked earlier, because the best hotel options near city centers and main attractions sell out by mid-November.<\/p>\n<h2>UAE National Day 2026 holiday calendar<\/h2>\n<table class=\"ms-table\"><thead><tr><th>Date<\/th><th>Day<\/th><th>Status<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>December 1, 2026<\/td><td>Wednesday<\/td><td>Public holiday<\/td><td>Commemoration Day<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>December 2, 2026<\/td><td>Thursday<\/td><td>Public holiday<\/td><td>UAE National Day<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>December 3, 2026<\/td><td>Friday<\/td><td>Weekend<\/td><td>Regular Friday off<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>December 4, 2026<\/td><td>Saturday<\/td><td>Weekend<\/td><td>Regular Saturday off<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>December 5, 2026<\/td><td>Sunday<\/td><td>Working day<\/td><td>Take one day of leave for a 5-day trip<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table>\n<p>This gives you a four-day break with no leave days used.
