The Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi will be closed on Friday, June 27, 2025, in observance of the Islamic New Year.
In an advisory, the Embassy announced it will resume normal operations on Monday, 30 June 2025.
The UAE government earlier declared the Islamic New Year a paid holiday for both public and private sector workers.
