Government has just confirmed no extra public holiday, see this link: http://www.wam.org.ae/servlet/Satell...T-LEN-FullNews
And I've just called up my local watering hole, and they're closing on Thursday night as it's dry
Party at home it is then...

In Bahrain, everybody will have it off on Sunday (snigger, titter). This is standard practice here when a holiday falls on a weekend day.
Bars and restaurants will remain open as usual.
