The Ministry of Labour has announced today that Thursday, February 17, 2011 will be a holiday for the private sector, marking the Prophet Muhammedโs birthday.
Todayโs announcement comes a week after last weekโs Ministry notice saying that all governmental departments, federal ministries and schools would be closed on February 17.
According to the Islamic calendar, the Prophetโs birthday actually falls on 12th Rabi ul Awwal, which coincides with Tuesday, February 15. However, since this falls between the working week, the Ministry issued the notice to move the holiday forward, making it a long-weekend for both the public and private sectors.
In effect, all employees in the UAE will be off on Thursday, February 17.

Please carry at least 3-4 litres of water for each occupant in your car.
Please carry at least 4 bundles of wood for the evening Barbecue.
Please carry proper tents and sleeping bags etc. for the camping as it is going to be very cold and perhaps wet too, due to the dew which is a common phenomenon at this time of the year in the desert.
Please make all arrangements a day before as we will not get any facility to pick up food once we start from the meeting point.
Please be punctual at the meeting point as the convoy will leave at the designated time as it is not fair or justified to hold up all the participants who arrived on time for a late comer.quote desert knight:ahmad bhai can u please post the itenary for the 2 day drive and the meeting point and time on the 17th morningMeeting point: Emarat gas station Jebl Ali (Hope everyone knows about the place)

Morning wake up whistle will be blown at 6.30 am sharp and after that we will go to Hameem for toilets usage and breakfast.(7.30 am max) We shall revert back and break camp as there will be heavy dew so we will have to wait till the tents etc. dry up.

We will target to be back on tarmac by 1430Hrs. max, inflate and drive back towards Dubai making a lunch stop at an ADNOC along the way.

myself and paran would like to join and had registered in the first place as passengers. but we would love to drive and have 2 options. either we bring the pajero which we have not tried on road for long distance or alternatively we bring our fortuner which is 2.7 liter. if this is o.k. then we dont mind driving or else we would come as passengers.

050 240 3041You can bring either car…
The Pajero is a 3 Litre?
The 2.7 Litre Prado in the right hands is an awesome machine,
I believe that the equipment be it a car or a piece of machinery or a weapon is only as capable as the prrson using it, in best of circumstances it’s contribution will be 20%-30% only the balanceis upto us!!! -
