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

In my earlier quote I have replied for the First question.
Replies for the remaining questions:
As prelude, I would like to cite the details of leave as admissible to Government employees in India is as follows:
1.Casual or General leave (paid) of 15 days in a Calendar year.
2.General Holidays of 8 days inclusive of 3 national Holidays.
2. Prevelege leave: An employee earns 20 days of leave for every year of
continuous service till the date of d emitting his office.
3. Earned Leave : Every employee earns 2.5 days of such leave every month
during duty period. He is permitted to accumulate such leave subject to
maximum of 240 days. Leave earned in excess of 240 days lapses. Such
leave can be en-cashed subject to minimum of 15 days or maximum of 30
days in a year.
Rules related to enjoying of casual leave is being governed by separate rules.Accordingly Casual leave can be clubbed with general Holidays and such combined holidays cannot exceed the maximum permissible limit of 6 or 7 days.
Any other leave other than above cannot be clubbed. In your query such excess availing leave is cited. Under such circumstance, for the leave in excess of the maximum limit, employee will lose wages for such excess days.
In private establishment such limitation is confined either to 5 or 6 days and the principles of excess remains unaltered.
I hope this will solve your query

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.

Leave eligibility as per Bombay Shops & Estt Act given below is the extract of Section 35 1(b) of the Act which 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 am agree with Monica.
As same is in use in my organization also, which is OK too, i suppose, as people do plan long leaves along with Govt. Holidays intentionally.
Rest it depends on company to company, and depends on HOD's approval also.

Hello Seniors,
In our Organization Casual Leave (Total 6 days only.) cannot be clubbed with any other leave like with Sick Leave or Privilege Leave etc. For an Instance if an employee is availing leave CL from of w.e.f 25.12.15 - 31.12.15 (27 is Sunday) and 1st January 2016 is Public Holiday (in our HR Policy Sundays & Public holidays are not counted towards leave), and Employee dose not resumes back on 02.01.2016, what will be 2nd Jan counted. can employee be marked Absent because CL cannot be clubbed with any other leave? or can he/she apply for other leaves as there is 1 day gap i.e, 01.01.16 (P.Holiday)? Please Suggest!!
Thanks
