The UAE announced working hours for government employees during Ramadan.
The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources said working hours would be from 9am until 2pm.
The holy month is expected to start on April 12, but the final date will be confirmed by the UAE s Moon-sighting committee.

The Moon-sighting committee – a group of astronomers, court officials and advisers from the country s Islamic authority – typically convenes after maghrib, or sunset, prayers on the 29th day of Sha’ban to look for the new crescent moon. If they spot it, Ramadan begins the following day. If not, Sha ban will last 30 days and Ramadan will begin thereafter.
