But Thursday is Not a Holiday
It would be better if we start it on Friday and End on Saturday, as many people have Saturday Off, but No one has an off on thursday.
17th is muharam 1st and its public holiday.
It is not known yet, If 1st Moharram will be on 17th or 18th
That is true…
Either way…How does it sound if we go on a two day trip on 1st Muharram?
We could be back on Saturday evening even if 1st Muharram is on 18th!!!
Can we shift the trip to nextw eek as I would be traveling

We will try & manage one more Family Liwa outing before the season is out…sometime in Jan.
You are joining us for the New Year’s Party…Are you not?
Bring along some friends too…the more the merrier!!!
Sure….I will be there
seems like no one is interested to liwa…
if thursday is not holiday this trip will be cancelled.. since i have to be in dubai by friday night..
if anyone interested joining please start registerning…
Dear Jessil,
Please try to be a bit more accomodative with other members.
Some of them have a valid point regarding the thursday being a holiday so keep the trip open that if Thursday is a holiday then the trip shall commence on thursday and if not then please keep it as Fri Sat trip.
Hope there is nothing more important then organizing and leading a LIWA trip!
That shall bring you back to dubai on Friday evening.
By the way the trip is being lead by you I believe and hope that you will organize it in a nice way and if any remote assistance is required then you know that you are always welcome.
Guys join in dozens for this trip!!!
since there is no declaration about the holiday and no confirmation this trip is postponded.. we will announce new date very soon. mostly 2nd week of Jan…
Cheers
The First Day of Muharram is on Friday, the 18th…so this trip is off…
