The US embassy in Abu Dhabi and the US Consulate General in Dubai will be closed on Monday, November 11, as per a recent social media update. This closure is in observance of Veterans Day, a day dedicated to honoring US military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice, according to the US mission to the UAE on X. Regular operations are scheduled to resume on Tuesday, November 12.
The US missions in the UAE play a crucial role as a conduit for US citizens to engage in significant events and decisions occurring in their homeland. Notably, American expatriates in the UAE recently participated in the presidential elections through the missions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. These expats had the option to vote either online or via the postal ballot system at the US embassy or consulate.
