Weekends are regarded as a time off work, a time for leisure. A typical weekend is a Saturday and a Sunday, though the official weekend in UAE countries is a Friday and Saturday. Weekends are important because you get time to rest, relax and destress, spend time with your family and have fun, catch up on activities like reading and watching movies that you wouldn’t typically get to do during the week. Weekends are the perfect time to unwind, and are thus important for both your physical and mental health.
