While the possibility of extended holidays in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is already almost official, in Pakistan so far, there are only expectations of a long weekend.

Since April 11 is falling on a Thursday, and traditionally this Eid gets at least three official holidays, that would mean April 11 through April 13 as official holidays followed by a Sunday.
