Holidays



To my fellow expats, who love holidays, our next vacation is on January 1, 2013, New Year’s Day. Since we are in Muslim country, it is the prerogative of our company if the management will give us off on December 25, Christmas Day.
So I am looking forward to 2013.
Here is the list of Abu Dhabi Holidays 2013. Islamic Holidays are dependent on                 moon sightings.
