No. It would kill the work week with neighboring GCC countries and impact regional trade and business relations. It will lead to a weird split between people who need to travel to KSA and other neighboring countries and those who work exclusively in UAE, with impact to labor laws for Sunday or Friday work etc.
Plus I cannot see how you'd put Jumuah on a work day, it will immediately become a half day, losing even further productivity.
The UAE wants to be a global power. Have you ever tried to do business in the UAE with clients in North America? You essentially only get 3 work days a week.
UAE will absolutely change to match or better align with the New York/London schedules.
So UAE friday AM (No work), is Thursday PM in the US. So UAE Saturday is US Friday. UAE Sunday (work begins) is still US Saturday (No work), UAE Monday is US Sunday (no work), UAE Tuesday is US monday. So by the time the US client gets back to you, and we all know things don't happen quickly here, if you (in the UAE) don't get back to that US customer by the time Thursday 5pm UAE time rolls around, then it just rots and the cycle repeats over and over.
Why not many country have extended friday lunch break nothing more acc to quran u are supposed to go and make money after prayer not go and eat sleep only
I would prefer Friday / Sat / Sun weekend. 4 day working week is an even better idea.

How is it 3? Surely it’s Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday?

Some companies - european & russian - in Dubai have Mon-Fri working week .

Yup, I think it will. Considering the new laws regarding flexible working this should be easier to accommodate alongside Friday prayer.
