Dubai Expo
I've heard a rumour that if Dubai get the Expo it will be a weeks vacation/celebrations.
We all know how rumours go in this place, anyone else heard this?

That'd be nice, the announcement is next Weds, National Day the following Monday ....maybe they'll join the lot together as a week long celebration!

Re: Dubai Expo
PS love the way you've called it Dubai Expo as though it's a forgone conclusion (which of course we all pretty much agree it is), but to be correct it's World Expo 2020 ...followed by whichever city wins.
Just being pedantic as I try to kill an extremely boring afternoon at work! ;-)

Re: Dubai Expo
I have only heard that the National Day will be 1st & 2nd instead of 2nd & 3rd so it'll be a long weekend.

Re: Dubai Expo
I sincerely hope that it is not declared a week long holiday - as I won't be given it.

Re: Dubai Expo
The cynic in me suggests that if Dubai wins, any extended holidays will be for public sector workers only....

Re: Dubai Expo
I can't see a whole week off being given. Perhaps National Day will be a two day holiday?

Re: Dubai Expo
It generally goes;
Public sector 3 days
Private 1 day
Us 2 days
So if they chucked a biggie then we might be in to get a few days off

I hope they get it, Expo 2020 combined with the WC in Qatar and all the stupid money the Saudis are pouring into rail works, the construction packages available will become a lottery spin the wheel event again.
I just hope I am still here torip them off contribute to Middle East infrastructure works.
I just hope I am still here to

Re: Dubai Expo
Russia, Turkey and Brazil are the other candidates hence I would think it would be a tight race...on paper at least. But with the WC being given to Qatar (I still cant get over that one), no one knows for sure anymore
I do hope that Dubai gets it as there is a fast looming property bubble pop in my humble opinion, and this would help ease everyone I guess. That also would mean all the poor people who have their money stuck in un-finished property projects might be looking to an end to their miseries.
The downside to all that, I guess, would be rents would go up...further. Or am I wrong in my amateur financial forecast
