We don't get told this far in advance and it depends on when the HR Director might have holiday booked as to which days suits best.

I'm expecting Tue / Wed / Thur.

Got 9 days off in Saudi. Last working day on Thurs 16th and back at work on the 26th.

9 days in the sandpit (Kuwait) so for 21 days holiday i only get debited 12 days from total (no idea how they worked that out!!)

Also 9 days in Kuwait, although currently Sunday 19th is showing up on my system as a working day, I hope that changes soon! Off to Bahrain for the week, my first time. Not looking forward to the airport on Thursday night!

Office is closed the whole week. All our clients are closed anyway.

Hi Andrew - Wow finally someone from Kuwait - i was beginning to think i was the only expat from Kuwait on this bored!

Hello! Arrived back in February after 4 years in Muscat. Got the driving licence last week, only took 6 months. Was a pain without - live in Salmiya and work in Eqaila.

Where are you heading off to over Eid?

I'm afraid UKCG it kind of takes the shine off you a bit. You're a tiny bit less special now there are two of you in Kuwait.

I had you as this roving marauder....a maverick in Kuwait City, if you will. Now, you're part of a small posse. Are you the leader? Time will tell. Is AndrewGrant going to turn you over and make this a one horse town again?

I can't wait.

I reckon it will be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Back in work on Saturday for those whose working week starts on Saturday....

12 days. Last day is Tuesday the 14th, back on Monday 27th.

I need it.

It's that bad huh? :-)

PS 9 days for me.

make that 13 days. King's decree for government sector, holiday starts tomorrow!

Private sector off for 3 days

Mon/Tue/Wed
