Abu Dhabi residents must remain indoors "unless absolutely necessary" from midnight until 5am from Monday.
It marks the resumption of an extensive disinfection campaign to combat Covid-19.
Members of the public can only leave their homes during this period to "get essential supplies, such as food and medicine".
The move aims to safeguard public health and curb the spread of Covid-19.
Abu Dhabi Media Office on Sunday issued a reminder about how to apply for a permit to leave during these hours.
People must apply for a permit from Abu Dhabi Police at http://adpolice.gov.ae.
Officials also announced that starting from midnight on Sunday, Abu Dhabi Police would not be sending a phone alert to residents at the start of the disinfection programme each evening.
Mass testing and one of the world’s fastest vaccination programmes, meanwhile, have helped the UAE control the pandemic.
At least 77.62 per cent of the UAE population have received one Covid-19 vaccine dose, while 68.13 per cent are fully vaccinated.
Authorities have also urged everyone to celebrate Eid Al Adha safely and adhere to Covid-19 rules.
People will enjoy a four-day break starting from Monday.
In a special briefing on Sunday, authorities told everyone to mark the occasion safely.
They repeated advice to avoid gatherings, not to shake hands and continue to wear masks and adhere to social distancing.
Dubai Police have already announced that patrols will be intensified to ensure rules are followed.

Three trading apps to try
Sharad Nair recommends three investment apps for UAE residents:
- For beginners or people who want to start investing with limited capital, Mr Nair suggests eToro. “The low fees and low minimum balance requirements make the platform more accessible,” he says. “The user interface is straightforward to understand and operate, while its social element may help ease beginners into the idea of investing money by looking to a virtual community.”
- If you’re an experienced investor, and have $10,000 or more to invest, consider Saxo Bank. “Saxo Bank offers a more comprehensive trading platform with advanced features and insight for more experienced users. It offers a more personalised approach to opening and operating an account on their platform,” he says.
- Finally, StashAway could work for those who want a hands-off approach to their investing. “It removes one of the biggest challenges for novice traders: picking the securities in their portfolio,” Mr Nair says. “A goal-based approach or view towards investing can help motivate residents who may usually shy away from investment platforms.”

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
