Does any one know the timings for CID during Ramadan? Also how long are the Eid vacations for CID in Sep-2009?

We want to get PCC from Qatar. Was hoping someone in the forum could help us out by giving the timings that CID operate during the Ramadan month, so that we can visit the place accordingly.
Also, I read that sometimes the PCC takes upto 2 weeks. Wanted to know if CID had an extended Eid holidays this September of 2009. This is to calculate how long the PCC could take.
Thanks in advance for any help.
