When is EID / Are we entitled to it?
 

Hi All,

When is EID this year?

M'Soft Outlook has it flagged as Mon 23rd - Wed 25th but i think that was based on Ramadan starting 24th September (instead of 23rd)

Is it a three day public holiday?

And are we (non Muslims) entitled to it? We've been told at work we only get one or maybe two of the days. I thought Eid was one of the few mandatory public holidays we could take?

Many thanks

Yes you should get it. It's normally a three day holiday, but some private companies only give two. If yu work in the public sector you should get three days off!! :D

Here some ppl get a whole week....... :D

It is looking around the 22nd and normally it is a 3 day holiday and is applicable to all, I hope it is not the 22nd as that means the gulf will miss out on some of the weekend holidays.

I would put a fairly substantial amount of money on the fact this will not be the case and that the holiday will miraculously re-align itself to start just after the recently re-organised Gulf weekend giving all government offices etc a nice 5 day holiday.... ;)

I'm reckoning on 24-26th!
