On September 1, many private companies in Dubai shifted their weekend from Thursday-Friday to Friday-Saturday, to coincide with the government's working week.
UAE officials said the new weekend is expected to result in greater cohesion within the country as well as in the UAE's international interaction.
The weekend shift, which came into effect yesterday, is unlikely to affect public healthcare services, officials said.
