"alias" replaces the bit in the location with the bit in the alias,
and uses the result as the filename to serve. So try:

    location ^~ /en/holidays/shared/images/ {
      alias /mnt/nfs/uat/;
    }

Note - it is "^~" so that *everything* below /en/holidays/shared/images/
will be served from the filesystem. (That is not a regex pattern.)

Also, the number of / at the end of the location and the alias are the same.

If you check your error_log, you should see an indication of what file
nginx tried to serve, if it failed.
