dear it is true but let me correct your news.

it is not public holiday, (it will be sport day for all Qatari residence Qatari and non Qataris employed in Qatar Government Companies, and secondly Qatar Olympic Committee will organize a big sport event for all to participate)

This is by the order of HH Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad
