One month until the next UAE public holiday: What you need to know
The UAE Cabinet announced at the start of the year that there will be at least 12 public holidays in 2025, depending on official moon sightings. We have at least four more days off to look forward to this year, but you may be wondering: 'When is the next public holiday in the UAE?' Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming public holidays left in 2025. When is the next UAE public holiday 2025? Credit: Supplied Prophet Muhammad's Birthday (PBUH) will be the next public holiday in the UAE. The Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday, celebrated during Rabi Al-Awwal – the third month of the Islamic calendar – is widely recognised across many Islamic nations, including those in the Gulf region. These countries, including the UAE, typically mark the day with a national holiday. If Rabi' Al-Awwal begins on Monday August 25, then the Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH) should fall on Friday September 5. This would give Dubai residents a three-day long weekend when combined with Saturday and Sunday. But if Rabi' Al-Awwal begins on Sunday August 24, then Prophet Muhammad's birthday (PBUH) should fall on Thursday September 4. This would give Dubai residents an additional day off during the working week. The exact date will be confirmed closer to the time and will depend on official moon sightings. In 2025, if a public holiday falls on the weekend, it can now be moved to the start of the new week. This is a new law introduced in 2025 and can be found in the UAE Official Gazette. However, this law does not apply to either Eid Al Fitr or Eid Al Adha. Public holidays list of dates 2025 We have at least 12 public holidays in the UAE in 2025.

Emirates starts daily Dubai to Hangzhou route
The world's largest international airline has officially launched a brand new daily non-stop route. Flying out of Dubai International Airport, the new Emirates service travels to Hangzhou – one of China's biggest cities. Emirates' latest expansion, which was first announced in May, is the airline's fifth gateway into the Chinese mainland after Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Emirates' newest route flies with a three-class Boeing 777-300ER and took off for the first time on Wednesday July 30. This route will provide 2,478 weekly seats to the largest city in Zhejiang province. Flight EK310 will depart Dubai at 9.40am GST and arrive in Hangzhou at 10pm China Standard Time. And the return flight EK311 will leave Hangzhou at 12.10am CST and arrive in Dubai at 4.55am GST. Emirates will fly daily to Hangzhou (Credit: Canva) The new flights are optimally timed to allow travellers to connect to 38 destinations in Europe, 22 in Africa, 11 in the Middle East as well as Brazil and Argentina. Travellers can get two-way connections to key cities including Istanbul, Cairo, Barcelona and Johannesburg. Why Emirates is flying to Hangzhou A grand welcome to Hangzhou! 💦✈️ Our arrival was marked with a traditional water salute as we touched down in our fifth gateway to mainland China. 🇨🇳 — Emirates (@emirates) July 30, 2025 With a population of around 13 million, it's one of the biggest municipalities in Asia. Hangzhou is rapidly expanding and becoming a global hub for innovation, e-commerce and technological advancements. You'll also find the UNESCO-listed West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, the Imperial Street of the Southern Song and the Archaeological Ruins of Linagzhu City when you visit. With a blend of historical heritage and a thriving tech industry, the city is one of the most fascinating places to travel to in China. Adnan Kazim, Emirates' deputy president and chief commercial officer, said that the route provides more opportunities for tech and economic exchanges between the two nations. He said: 'Launching a new Dubai-Hangzhou route marks a pivotal moment in our operations in the Chinese mainland and broader East Asia region. 'As an emerging global hub for innovation, e-commerce and advanced manufacturing, Hangzhou will open doors to new opportunities for our passenger and cargo operations, further strengthening the vital economic and technological exchanges between the Middle East and China.' Travellers will enjoy the airline's award-winning in-flight entertainment system ICE, which offers over 6,500 channels of on-demand entertainment in more than 40 languages, including Chinese, as well as regionally inspired cuisine, including popular Chinese dishes and desserts.

'I felt like a millionaire': Travellers share their airline upgrade stories
If you've ever flown long-haul in economy, you'll know it's not the most comfortable of experiences. From limited leg room to waking your snoring neighbour to use the bathroom, the journey is simply a means to an end. However, for the lucky few who can afford to fly business class — or in the hallowed halls of first class — the flight is part of the fun. This was the realisation of Metro's Mel Evans, whose first-ever business class trip from Heathrow to Sydney 'ruined' future flights for life. With free champagne on tap, aisle-access spacious cabins, and Bulgari freebies, it was worlds away from what she was used to. But then again, what else would you expect from a £5,435 ticket? In the knowledge that the majority of us can't afford such luxury trips, we asked Metro readers to share their experiences of being upgraded for free. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. We're positively green with envy. Mark Manning told us that he's had the pleasure of being upgraded to business class not once, but twice. One of these experiences was on an Emirates Airbus A380 — the world's largest passenger airliner. In recent times, this aircraft has been dubbed 'the plane that keeps breaking down.' The faults partly stem from prolonged periods on the ground during the pandemic. But clearly, there were no malfunctions during Mark's trip. Rather, he felt like a 'millionaire for seven hours,' and 'loved every minute' of the journey. Mark recalled lying down, sipping on champagne, eating 'brilliant' food, and making frequent trips to the bar upstairs. 'If I were rich, I would fly business class every time,' he said. For Linda Osborne, it was a fractured leg that swung the upgrade deal. Like Mark, she flew with Emirates and called it the 'perfect' flight. She also said the airline is 'one of the best by far.' Sandra Fordham bagged her business class cabin by winning a bid on the way back from Dubai. Granted, this means her upgrade technically wasn't free — many airlines allow passengers to bid for seats in premium economy, business class, or first class — but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than paying for a ticket outright. 'It was amazing, I felt like royalty there,' gushed Sandra, who also called the business class lounge in the airport 'exceptional.' As a newbie, Sandra joked that she and her husband were 'pressing all the gadgets' and in awe of everything available. 'It was the only time I never wanted to get off a plane.' 'Upgrades — especially to first class — are elusive. But, they're not impossible,' says Jaroslaw Grabczak, Head of Commercial Product at Thomas Cook and eSky online travel agency. He tells Metro that the most reliable method is through airline loyalty programmes: points or systemwide upgrades available to elite status holders. For example, American Airlines Executive Platinum members can use 'systemwide upgrades' to jump from business to first, while Emirates Skywards offers cash and mile-based upgrades at online check-in. Don't fly enough to warrant a loyalty programme? Jaroslaw also says that flying solo can increase your odds. As does flexibility with timing. He says that midweek and red-eye flights (overnight ones that depart late at night and arrive early the next morning) are less likely to be full, therefore your chances increase. 'While rare, discretionary upgrades still exist,' he adds. Dressing professionally and being polite might tilt the odds in your favour, especially if there's an operational reason to reshuffle the cabin. Again, while not strictly free, Jaroslaw states that last-minute paid upgrades are common. Airlines often release discounted first class seats 24 to 72 hours before departure, particularly if a cabin is undersold. Finally, checking your reservation periodically can pay off. 'Sometimes the price difference is just a few hundred pounds,' he says. Back in the early noughties, Mark Roden found himself in business class from London Heathrow to San Francisco. Travelling with his partner at the time, he said airline staff picked them from a line of premium economy passengers and asked if they wanted to be upgraded. 'It was an amazing experience: 12 choices on the menu, and faultless, silver service,' Mark recalled, adding that the Virgin crew said he could try every choice if his 'stomach could manage it.' Mark said he enjoyed champagne for the 'whole flight,' which kept being topped up. He then slept it off in a private bed for the remaining hours. 'I felt totally refreshed despite the eight-hour flight,' he said. Last but not least, Trevor Pearman was upgraded during a short-haul flight from Frankfurt to Manchester. Despite it being a 1 hour and 45 minute journey, he said he 'made the most of every second.' From continuous top-ups of free champers (there seems to be a theme here), to indulging in a 'light lunch' with 'real knives and forks,' he wished the journey was longer. @martamie Here is what it's like to fly 14 hours in @Emirates business class ✨ Emirates offers world class service and amenities making long haul flights a breeze. You can enjoy gourmet meals, wide selection of entertainment, and on board bar lounge with premium beverages to make yourself home during duration of your flight. With this new level of comfort, flying was never easier✈️ #Emirates #DubaiStopOver #FlyBetter ♬ champagne – G Sounds Airline upgrades aren't the only luxuries available when travelling. Travel expert Chelsea Dickenson, and columnist for Metro's Travel section, has an easy hack for hotel bump-ups, too. While she stresses that you can't always guarantee an upgrade, she says there's no harm in sending a polite email asking for one. You don't need to be a newlywed, celebrity or influencer to get a better room: you just need to ask. 'Some people feel awkward asking for an upgrade, which I understand, but think of it as giving the hotel an opportunity to show how great their customer service can be,' Chelsea explains. More Trending She says it helps to say why you're excited to stay, and to be as kind and as complimentary as possible. Always make it clear you don't expect anything, too. 'Finding the name of the hotel guest manager often helps, and I'd recommend sending your email around three or four days before arrival for a short break, or a week before if you're staying for longer,' Chelsea recommends. While it varies from place to place, if you email too far in advance, the hotel may still be waiting to see if they can sell the best rooms. Request too close, and the rooms may have already been allocated. Read Chelsea's guide plus her tried-and-tested email template here.
