and companies have FRIDAY & SATURDAYS off...when do the 3 days holidays starts for them?

My guess would be: Sunday, Monday & Tuesday?

If it is...I would love to do a 2 days leave to have a long break. But since I can work from home...that would be a long shot :P

B2D..the title of the thread is misleading as of now the Eid (9th or 10th of September) is not confirmed but only Eid Holidays..

Eid Al Fitr, the celebrations marking the end of Ramadan, will be on Friday September 10, a Kuwaiti astronomer has said.

"The date, based on astronomical calculations, means that Muslims will be this year fasting 30 days," Dr Saleh Al Ujairi said.

Will it be same for Qatar?

Just enjoy men, have fun but above anything be safe.

I might just go to our neighbouring UAE for a "friendly" visit.

Galloper, I helped to set our Eid ;o)

We decided to call it on Sat, Sun, Mon, regardless of the actual days. As Sat is my day off I get Tuesday too. Add Wed, Thu, from vacation days and I'm off to Malaysia for a week :o)
