Holiday in Qatar due to Asian Games?

JK
By JK

I work for QU and heard from some of my students that there might be a holiday because of the Asian Games.  I heard that the Emir would declare it a holiday and everyone would be excused form work.  Is this true?  Would someone please set the record straight?

 

As much as I would love it to happen, i doubt it  but would love to know! 

Thanks.
