Re: Ideas for Eid???
From a woman who's lived here for 29 years (or so) you're asking us????? 
We (at emirates) have been tentatively suggested that we'll have Tuesday 2nd and Saturday 5th off! So I guess they think it'll be then. However if some bloke in sandals doesn't see the moon then we'll all be back slaving over our hot pc's for another day.

It's always a hit & miss affair so that you cannot book and plan the exact date to take a trip.
Wrong!
Eid is declared by Saudia Arabia upon sighting of the moon not when and who died.
