In Egypt it's in for the 4th, I am arriving in Dubai on the 2nd until the 4th to met family who're having a 1 day stop over on the 3rd, they will be totally bummed if it's dry on the 3rd

Surely if the religious holiday is Sunday it will be dry Saturday night until Sunday 7pm?

Exactly.

All listings have had the date as the Monday since the start of the year and it was even confirmed by Dubai tourism last week.

Now where's that thread about making religion fit? :rolleyes:
