Happy Holidays.
I am in Dubai, where they do things a little differently. Next Monday (2nd) is UAE National Day and is a public holiday. Friday and Saturday are the weekend.
Today is a holiday because they were awarded Expo 2000 last night, but they did not announce the holiday untill about 10pm last night, I think most people are at work. Sunday might be a holiday, but no one is sure.
Edit - So the latest is Sunday will be the public Holiday for National Day, not Monday (if you are in the private sector - Public sector get both).

Just as will as I am working right through.
