The working week consists of 5-5 1/2 days per week in the UAE. One should note that Thursday and Friday are the off-days (instead of Saturday and Sunday like in Europe). Normally, multinational companies also follow this scheme which will then also affect the intern. Besides, it will be clear to most employers that, as an intern, one would like to see as much as possible of the country and surroundings during the limited time of the internship. Therefore, it will be likely that the intern will get the odd day off to travel around. Interestingly, there are only two official national holidays in the UAE, the National Days on the 2nd and 3rd of December. Apart from that, there are numerous special religious times, such as the Ramadan period.
