Abu Dhabi: The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has issued a circular specifying the official working hours for federal government employees during Ramadan 1445 AH.
As per the circular, the working hours for ministries and federal entities during Ramadan are set from 9am to 2.30pm, Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, working hours are reduced, with employees working from 9am to 12 noon, unless the nature of their work demands a different schedule.
