The 29th day of Ramadan will be Thursday 11 Oct. if this is the last day (likely) then Eid will be Friday Saturday for the Private Sector, we await the Government announcement.

Same here man My company decided to set the dates for all hoildays so people can actually plan to take time off! Makes good business sense really.

Ok lets say it falls on the Friday - does this make the Thursday and Friday dry
or if it falls on the Saturday is saturday dry?

Not being a concerned drinker - just have guests in town and need to plab activities

I thought the holiday will be on saturday and sunday
my regular day off is every Friday and saturday

If you are new to the region you will just have to wait and see what transpires, it all depends on the spotting of the new moon.

Eid al Fitr holidays for me (gov. sector) will be from 11/10/07 upto 3rd of shawal

You work for a good one.

Our Company declared that the Eid Holiday would be Friday / Saturday if the last day of Ramadan was Thursday. So considering that we normally have a Friday / Saturday weekend, it's work as usual
