    Etihad Rail — Al Yalayis station opens

    Al Yalayis, Dubai South

    Passenger rail to the rest of the UAE, not a metro hop. Book on Etihad Rail. Bridge to Expo metro is the story for people who live south.

    UAE National Day

    Citywide

    Public holiday. Fireworks, flags, and mall hours that shift. Confirm the school/office closure with your employer, not a group chat.

Not a ticket shop. Always buy on the organiser site. Dates move — that is why this page re-reads official calendars once a day (Visit Dubai still has the full consumer listings).
