Working hours & public holidays
Hi Folks,
I will be posted to Doha frm 1st April. I was just wondering how is the working lifestyle there. Is it very stressful? I have few queries below"-
What is the working hours in Doha like?
When is the off days?
Is there a lot of public holidays and where can we get the official calendar to know abt the public holidays in Doha? Do people work during this holidays?
I have to get this info at least i can plan ahead as when i can come back home to visit my families esp if there is a long holiday in Doha.
Most of the companies work for 7/8 hrs a day, starting form 6:00 AM or 7 AM. Fridays and Saturdays are weekends. Public Holidays are very limited 3 to 5 days for an Eid Fitr and 3 to 5 days for Eid Adha and 1 day for national day. Besides this you get an annual vacation of 30 to 45 days.HTH

public holidays here is very limited, the ones i can remember is EID FTRI and EID adha may add a few more unlike some countries where there are loads of public holidays (every mth there has to be a public holiday......lol )
