The Government of Pakistan has announced public holidays on 23 and 24 September 2025, aligning the observance with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Schools, colleges, universities, banks, and government offices across the country will remain closed for two consecutive days. This development has drawn major attention as it highlights growing cultural and diplomatic ties between Pakistan and the UAE.
Why Pakistan Declared 23 and 24 September Holidays?
Traditionally, Pakistan declares holidays based on national, cultural, or religious events. This year, the government decided to extend the holiday schedule to two days — 23 and 24 September 2025.
The reason is linked to the UAE’s celebration of 23 September (Saudi National Day), which holds regional importance. By observing these dates together, Pakistan has expressed solidarity with its Gulf partners and created an opportunity for citizens to commemorate the significance of the occasion.
Impact on Schools, Offices, and Businesses
The two-day holiday means that:
-
All schools, colleges, and universities will stay closed.
-
Government departments and banks will not operate on both days.
-
Private companies may follow the same schedule, depending on their policies.
Essential services, including hospitals, emergency response units, and public transport, will remain available. Families are expected to use this break for travel, gatherings, and community activities, while the business sector — particularly tourism and hospitality — may see an increase in activity.
Official Notification and Advisory
The official notification confirming 23 and 24 September 2025 as public holidays has been circulated by the federal government to all provinces. Citizens are advised to check local government announcements for any region-specific updates or instructions.
This extended holiday gives employees and students a rare chance for a longer break, boosting morale and productivity once normal routines resume.
Conclusion
The Government of Pakistan’s decision to announce 23 and 24 September 2025 as holidays with the UAE has created widespread excitement. More than just a two-day break, it symbolizes unity, cultural respect, and stronger diplomatic ties between the two nations.
For citizens, this is a golden opportunity to recharge, spend time with family, and take part in community events, while also appreciating Pakistan’s role in honoring regional partnerships.
