Dubai is dominantly a Muslim religion city. Hence festivals and events are mainly based here upon the Islam religion. On the other hand one must remember that these events or festival days are often declared as public holidays. Tourists have two opinions about these days like the days which have great time to explore the real beauty of the city and other opinion shows that it is the worst day due to the huge rush upon all tourist spots which may be a barrier to explore the real face of the city. Anyway, we are presenting here the tentative lists of Dubai Public Holidays 2008 which may help you to plan a wonderful trip to Dubai.
