When is Back to school?

**3 August 2027 – 2 September 2027** · Expected · Starts in 293 days

Copies the 2026 window: Dubai's back-to-school campaign started 3 Aug and noon's back-to-school sale ran until 2 Sep. Saudi public schools are expected to reopen on about 22 Aug 2027 (third-party calendar citing the Ministry of Education; not yet confirmed).

## Last year

In 2026 noon advertised up to 80% off school essentials until 2 Sep (UAE) and ran a Saudi back-to-school offer until 31 Aug. Amazon.ae ran a back-to-school sale claiming up to 50% off; reports differ on whether it ended on 23 Aug or 1 Sep.

## How to get the most out of it

Buy laptops and tablets early in the window, before popular models sell out. Stationery and bags are often cheapest in bundles.
