Actual Eid timings and holidays
From Gulf News:
Public sector holiday from Nov 2 to 6
Abu Dhabi: The public sector will remain closed for Eid Al Fitr from November 2 to 6, according to a circular.
And
Two-day holiday for private sector
Dubai:
Private companies and establishments will remain closed on the first and second day of Shawwal for Eid Al Fitr, said the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
So - If I read this right - Private companies will have Weds and Thurs as holiday only and back to work as usual after Friday. Correct?
I kept hearing people talking about 4 days holiday - not two.... Oh - confused as usual!
Anyone care to clarify this for me?
Oh - also - this will mean Tuesday night is dry correct?
Thankie....
