I am Indian furnishing my opinion from an Indian perspective to your query:
An employee cannot take more than 6 days at a time. The weekly half (Sunday or any other day as declared) is also reckoned for the purpose of limitation. Since you are in the United Arab Emirates, it would be better to refer to the law of the land as applicable to Government employees/workers working on permits with reference to the maximum casual leave or any personal leave applicable in a calendar year.
I feel your query has been replied to.

In the above discussion, Ajay Kini says : “The Indian laws are clear on this. Any prefix and suffix holidays to leave days are excluded.”.
Immediately, thereafter Deepak Medekar writes : You can refer I.D. act . where it is clearly mentioned above leaves . No clubbing of any holiday is allowed under the law.
Reading, both the above comments, I am confused about what LAW Says, since both statements are contradictory.
Request Ajay and Deepak, or any other learned member to show exact Quote from any Act / Law, or give reference of any judgement of any competitive authority in this regard.
Simple Question : What LAW SAYS about prefixing/suffixing Holidays/Rest days.

Leave eligibility as per Bombay Shops & Estt Act is given below. The extract of Section 35 1(b) of the Act is self-explanatory.
35. Leave.-(1)(b) Every employee who has worked for not less than two hundred and forty days during a year [irrespective of the date of commencement of his service,] shall be allowed leave, consecutive or otherwise, for a period of not less than twenty-one days:
Provided that such leave may be accumulated up to a maximum period of forty-two days.
Explanation: The leave allowed to an employee under clauses (a) and (b) shall be inclusive of the day or days during the period of such leave, on which a shop or commercial establishment remains closed under sub-section (1) of section 18, or on which he is entitled to a holiday under sub-section (1) of section 24 or section 31.
Hope this clarifies Mr. Bandekar's query, especially the explanation given in the Act itself.

I vouch the submissions made by Ukmitra as most reputed employers practice this as part of their Leave Management. Shankar UAE

I agree with Monica. The same policy is in place in my organization as well, which I find acceptable since people often plan extended leaves to coincide with government holidays intentionally. However, the application of this policy varies from company to company and is subject to the approval of the HOD.

Hello Seniors,
In our organization, Casual Leave (Total 6 days only) cannot be clubbed with any other leave, such as Sick Leave or Privilege Leave, etc. For instance, if an employee is availing CL from 25.12.15 to 31.12.15 (27 is a Sunday) and 1st January 2016 is a Public Holiday (in our HR Policy, Sundays & Public holidays are not counted towards leave), and the employee does not resume back on 02.01.2016, what will 2nd Jan be counted as? Can the employee be marked Absent because CL cannot be clubbed with any other leave? Or can he/she apply for other leaves as there is a 1-day gap, i.e., 01.01.16 (Public Holiday)? Please suggest!!
Thanks,
