I'd say tuesday or even later, looks less obvious.

What's the effect going to be on day-to-day over and above ramadan?

Think will be a week off for private sector, public probably 30 days or something like that.

Can't remember what happens with malls/pubs/restaurants etc, think they'll shut down for a while as well

[dxbtiger]

shirt]i realise this sounds crass [he dies ages ago so meh said:

but does the week off also apply to free zones?

Sure it will yes, everything else does afaik (don't give me the Ramadan hours BS!)

New cabinet approved..

A load of the locals my missus follows on instagram, Maktoums etc, posting photos of him wishing him well with his 'surgery'.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Edit - cabinet approval was in papers yesterday, appparently had another stroke this morning, hence all the messages, they're teeing it up surely..

Well from those 2 posts I deduce that sheikh mo is actually a pher who hires some guy called mike to be his stand in at social events.

Guilty...

His relatives were some of the most active posters of the pictures about his health over the weekend!

Mate was at a Suhoor with some top brass from ADNOC last night, they said the big dog will be off in the next few days.

Sunday/Monday I reckon, going straight into Eid, they as good as called it for Monday 28th earlier this week.

Slightly misleading article, 5 days from Friday means we'd get the public sector 3 days rather than normal 2 days.
