What if one would like to perform my pilgrimage to the Holy City of Meccah during the course of employment in Dubai?

Article 87 specifically provides for a maximum of 30 unpaid days for Muslims who wish to do their pilgrimage to Mecca. This provision applies to all Muslims employed in the UAE, whether you’re a UAE national or not. The leave for Haj does not, in any way, affect your entitlement to other leave benefits.
