UAE announces 3-day weekend for Islamic new year
The UAE has officially declared Friday, June 27, 2025, a public holiday in observance of the Islamic New Year, marking the beginning of the Hijri year 1447 AH. The announcement, made by the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR), ensures a three-day weekend for federal government employees, with work resuming on Monday, June 30. The Islamic, or Hijri, calendar is based on lunar cycles, with the new year starting on the first day of Muharram—one of the four sacred months in Islam. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, Islamic dates shift annually by about 10-12 days, as they depend on moon sightings. This year's holiday follows the UAE Cabinet's pre-approved list of 2025 public holidays, with the exact date confirmed by official moon-sighting committees. While the FAHR's announcement applies to federal government employees, private sector workers will follow the UAE's labor law, which grants them the same public holidays unless otherwise stated by their employers. Residents should confirm with their HR departments to ensure alignment. This holiday comes shortly after the extended Eid Al Adha break, giving residents yet another opportunity to relax, travel, or spend time with family. With a three-day weekend ahead, many may take advantage of short getaways or staycations, boosting local tourism and hospitality sectors. Dubai's summer 4-day work week returns in 2025 – and it's a game-changer What's Open, What's Closed? While government offices and some businesses will close, shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment venues are expected to remain open, offering special promotions and events to mark the occasion. Public transport schedules may also see slight adjustments, so commuters should check for updates. The Hijri New Year is more than just a day off—it's a moment for spiritual reflection and renewal. Many Muslims use this time to set intentions for the year ahead, recite prayers, and engage in charitable acts. 12 activities to try over the long weekend in the UAE As the UAE continues to balance modern life with deep-rooted traditions, this holiday serves as a reminder of the country's cultural and religious heritage. Whether you're planning a getaway or a quiet weekend at home, make the most of this well-deserved break. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images & Feature Image: @humairaa_____

From New York to Shanghai, Hermès crafts a wardrobe for the cosmopolitan explorer
Against Shanghai's Blade Runner-esque skyline, Nadège Vanhée staged the second act of her Hermès A/W 2025 womenswear collection—an ode to the modern nomad, sculpted in leather, silk, and eclecticism. A year after debuting 'The Second Chapter' in New York, the artistic director transplanted her vision to the Huangpu River, where a modular, ephemeral pavilion framed the city's neon glow behind towering shutters. The effect was deliberate – a theatrical reveal of a collection as dynamic as the metropolis itself. Vanhée's protagonist is a woman in motion—resilient, sculptural, unapologetically sensual. In Paris, she strode down a dirt-strewn spiral runway, embodying rugged independence. In Shanghai, she evolved into a cosmopolitan explorer, her layers stacked with the pragmatic poetry of travel: water bottles slung on leather straps, sweaters knotted at the waist, bags cross-body like urban armor. The styling pulsed with wit—a glittering boot refracting city lights, headphones hinting at a post-show escape—while hybrid garments, adjustable at the sleeve or seam, whispered of adaptability. Here are our favorite looks at details from the Hermès show Central to the narrative was the braid, lifted from Hermès' equestrian roots and Virginie Jamin's Dressage Tressage scarf. It twisted through coats and linings, a metaphor for Vanhée's design ethos: the slow, deliberate weaving of cultural threads. Here, Parisian rigor met Shanghai's frenetic hybridity, resulting in bold prints, modular silhouettes, and a tension between intellect and play. As the pavilion morphed into a party venue—mirroring New York's all-night energy—the collection's thesis crystallized: Hermès' woman is no longer defined by a single city. She is a citizen of the world, her wardrobe a testament to Vanhée's exacting craftsmanship and nomadic spirit. The second chapter, it seems, is boundless. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images & Feature Image: Supplied
