Amiri Diwan announces official holiday for Qatar National Day 2020
The special occasion of Qatar National Day (QND) is usually a public holiday in Qatar.
However, as custom, if it falls on a weekend, an official holiday is given on either the Thursday preceding it or on a Sunday following it.
Since this year's QND will be on a Friday, the Amiri Diwan has announced that Thursday, December 17, 2020, will be an official holiday on account of QND.
