Dear Readers in Oman,
.
It's official. Holiday for the public (and some of the private) sectors starts tomorrow Tuesday the 7th. Everyone resumes duty on Sunday the 12th. A nice 5-day break.
.
However ........
.
You may have noticed that all the official announcements do not mention the reason for the holiday at all. The newspaper just says 'public holiday' starting First of Muharram (new Islamic year) until December 11th. No mention of National Day.
.
So ......
.
Rumor has it that the actual 'National Day' holiday may be at the end of December according to my sources. Yes, you heard me, ... YET another holiday.
.
Wait and see ......
Bleh this holiday fiasco is turning out to be a boring one I tell ya..!!
ReplyDeletelucky you!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard the schools restart on the 11th....
ReplyDeleteWow, that would be great. Another holiday....
National Day Holidays will start on 25th Dec till 29th Dec
