Salalah is a beauty - especially if you dive. I would rather go there than stay in Bahrain this Eid.
Enjoy Speed!
Nothing special to do in Bahrain at Eid. Unless you want to watch Saudi and Qatari visitors driving badly.

How ome everyone gets like 5 days or something, and we're getting 3 days (of course subject to the moon, this may shift forward or less)
But we've just gotten our Saudi visa, and we are driving off to Oman, last month we drove from Dubai to Oman, quite liked it, so this time we do the trip starting from Doha.

Otherwise we may plan go to Salala in Oman !!

brilliant. i'm going to singapore then.
Govt and ministries gets off these days to allow their staff to do the shopping and get ready for Eid coz as practice 90% of staff in these sector remains absent therefore the decided to give it off :-)
So the Actual Eid Holidays will start from 1 Sept (subject to Moon and Announcement from the Ministry) for semi govt organizations and private Companies.
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
Also today we received the instructions to transfer the staff salary to their banks on Sunday 21.09.08 ;-)
Enjoy Ramadan and Eid....

I better issue that memo now...so GM could sign it.
You are right, where to go? what to do?
same old same old...csi
JJMD, govt departments will return on the 7th. Most of us won't get that many days off.
Just to clarify - this means that those of us that get the full holiday will return to work on the 7th?
This is what the convention would be in the UK, however I have learnt that sometimes things work differently in Qatar so just wanted to make sure!
for me heading down to Dubai via Road.....
Dont think we will get holiiday till Monday.. we might resume duty on Sunday.
Well, on the plus side I can pretty much take time off when I want :) I just don't get paid when I do :(
tallg chuckle chuckle chuckle...I'll remember to gloat about my 3 days off then. Poor you. And vegas. And notfromhere. csi csi csi
-------------------sshwalleleh sshwalleloh-------------
and eid mubarak to all
from previous years experience, make sure you have enough cash at home. Being long hols alot of ATM empty ...
We wont be going anywhere this Eid ... saving the dosh for December hols.
Last year we went to Turkey visiting Dweller :)
Oh QS, I'm lucky. I have a very nice gym in my compound. I"m sure if I had to pay, it would just be another excuse not to go!
I've heard that there are some good classes at Aspire, though.
I'm a mom, so I never get any time off for anything ;-)
Seriously, isn't everyone supposed to get time off for Eid?
may i ask you which Gym you go to? If you don't want to post, could you pls send me a PM?
I am looking for another gym now, and it looks like just there is NOTHING in Doha!!
I'm not in any sector so I don't get any time off for Eid!
tallg we are in the wrong sector. :(
-------------------sshwalleleh sshwalleloh-------------
I'm going...
to the pool
to the gym
to my bed
to a few restaurants
You can't teach experience...
Thanks labda. Why do government and public institutions get so much time off? Their al-fitr holiday will start before ramadan ends!
9 days holiday nice....we are going for a road trip round U.A.E looking forward to that...
tallg I believe Oct 1,2 and 4th. 3rd is a Friday.
-------------------sshwalleleh sshwalleloh-------------
lol Rizks i got off 9 days includin fri and sat
as i am still under the visit visa extension, if i exit the country, that means the visa i have now will be void right? can i come back under working visa from my company?
yes lovinni, it's definitely better than no holiday at all....
Pajju .......
u going to India for 3 days to get CoConuts or what ??
Yes, I think 3 days is right. Any idea what dates they will be?
Morning Guys ,, me going india :)
i bet we have 3 days only...still coming at work at sat before eid starts...
anyways better than no holidays!
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. ~Charles Schulz
