In Kuwait there are such holidays.

Normal New Year - 1st of January.
Independence Day (from the British) - February 25.
Day of liberation (from damned Iraqis) - February 26.
The sacred month of Ramadan (28-30 days). The term depends on the position of the Moon.
Eid Al-Fitr - Ramadan End Holidays (3-4 days). Deadlines depend on what moon will be seen in the sky wise elders.
Eid Al-Adha - 3-4 days. Holidays ending sacred Hajj - pilgrimage in Mecca and Medina. (In 1998, I received a more detailed explanation about Eid Al-Adha about E-mail, but I lost it somewhere, did not have time to insert on my pages. As soon as I find it - immediately insert.)
Mount Arafat (Wafqa) - 0-1 day. It can move and cancel depending on the moon. In 1995, he was marked in one calendar in a row along with Eid Al-Adha, and in the other - was not. And they took it - and canceled!
Islamic new year
Birthday of the Prophet Mohammed
The Ascension Day of the Prophet Mohammed
In general, besides the first three holidays, everyone else is counted by lunar calendar - Hijra, and every year shifted about 10 days earlier in our calendar. The exact date calculation is impossible in advance, because they depend on which moon appears in the sky. Basically, the calendar shifts occur at the end of the lunar month of Ramadan, which may be 28, then 29, or even 30 days. But calendar shifts in any of the lunar months are possible.

Also in many companies is unofficially permitted not to come to work in Christmas and in Easter - for non-Musulman. About this there is no circulars or references, but everyone just does not come to work, and no one asks them, why?

On the days of liberation and independence, the whole Kuwait leaves on the streets on the streets, especially - on Arabian Gulf Road (Persian / Arab Bay Naberezhnya), and begins to ride back and forth and at the same time bibing. As the number of machines increase on the Gulf Road the possibility of movement disappears, and the machines begin to move at a speed of 1 meter in 5 minutes. To roll or leave anyone is impossible, because everywhere everything is clogged with machines. After 2-3 hours of movement at such a speed, the engines overheat are overheated, and they stop in the middle of the road, the brand is completely completely.

On the month of Ramadan can not eat, drink and smoke at the light of the sun. But in the evening and at night you can eat and smoke to the dive, that all Muslims are doing. For the convenience of Kuwaitsee, who eat all night, the start of work this month is transferred at 9:00 or 9:30 and the end - at 13:30 or 14:30, and the working day is reduced to 4-5 hours. All restaurant establishments are open only with sunset. Stores work in the afternoon, but the police carefully monitors those who smoke or eating on the street on the street - they are immediately planted in Zindan until the end of the month. About caught with a cigarette reported newspapers. In Ramadan, 1995 in the newspaper Arab Times there was a note:

"A police patrol passed on the street and saw that he was smoke from the doors of one store. A police patrol entered the store and saw that the saleswoman of the Philippine nationality smokes a cigarette. A police patrol surveyed the head of the store, which said that the seller of the Philippine nationality actively smokes cigarettes and Creates cool drinks in a bright day of day. A police patrol crossed the Solder of the Philippine Nationality at the police station, where it was defined for staying in Zindan before the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan. "

For the correct and absolutely accurate determination of the deadlines of the beginning and end of Ramadan, a special committee of observation of the moon (Moon Watching Committee) has been created. It was shown on TV. There is a person from 30 to 50. They are sitting on the sofas and once a year solemnly declare about the beginning of Ramadan, then - about his end, and about the duration of the events of the end of Ramadan Eid Al-Fitr. There are such committees in other Arab countries. They compete with each other in the accuracy of the prediction of Ramadan's deadlines. In 1995, the Kuwaiti Committee predicted the term accurately, and Egyptian was mistaken for one day.

Actually, the standard is the Committee in Saudi Arabia: how he will say, so Ramadan and begins. But the rest of the committees do this from sports interest. What are these committees during the rest of the year, the TV has not reported. Abu Dhabi, December 23. (Corr. ITAR-TASS Viktor Lebedev).

Saudi authorities officially officially allowed the use of observatories and technical means of observing the celestial bodies to detect Ramadan's crucible crescent on the sky.

According to printing, the decision is made at yesterday's meeting of the Kingdom Cabinet. It is based on the recommendation of the Council of Shura, which in turn was guided by Fatherwood (religious law) published by Saudi Ulemov.

The offensive of the Muslim post of Ramadan starting at the end of this period in the history of the Kingdom for the first time in the history of the kingdom will be recorded by technical means of observation of the sky.

Ramadan, a month-called morality and morality, which should be devoted to righteous cases when refusing food, drinking and marriage caress, not in all countries begins at the same time. Islamic theologians believe that the beginning of Ramadan, in which the Koran was notes, cannot be calculated, but is determined visually in each particular country or region.

According to the arrangement of the Arabian countries, the traditions of the post's post may declare each of their inhabitants, testifying in the nearest Sharia court that he saw the Ramadan's golden sickle.

Some theologians believe that the newborn month appears at the night sky no later than 16 minutes after sunset. Now, using the most modern means of observation of the sky, they will be able to see the desired sickle a little earlier.

Kuwait Cleaning Company - Kuwaiti Claim Company. There are a visit to the Filipinous and Bangladeshtsy. They live in barracks at 100-200 people, they are carried to work and from work on such moving means, intermediate between trailers, in which passengers bring to the airport to the airport, and machines for the transport of rams in three tiers. They pay them usually from 20 to 30 dinars per month (65-100 dollars). Kuwaitians receive salary from 400-600 to 1500-2000, and some and 3,000 dinars per month. (It seems that the average salary in Russia is 100 dollars?)

In all other holidays, Kuwaitz are sleeping during the day, and in the evening they fall out on lawns and lawns with whole families, taking with them a huge amount of food. Until late Night, they are continuously crushed, and they throw waste for their back. When they go home, all sorts of Philipries from Kuwait Cleaning Company are collected from the lawns their mud.

In addition to the official salaries, the indigenous Kuwaitians have a huge number of any benefits, premiums, premiums, etc., not counting income from "business". For example, large families (and low-legged - too) receive benefits for children, and lonely citizens receive benefits for the loss of loved ones. There are special benefits - for the head of the family, for the wife of the head of the family, for a family without chapter, for schoolchildren's children, for preschool children, for students, for people with disabilities, for citizens of old age, for the loss of the breadwinner in the war with the damned Iraq, for material Damage, for moral damage, and for everything that only happens on (Arabic). It would be easier not to calculate it all, but immediately distribute money to all Kuwaitians, because they still will receive them either by one article or - on the other.

For example, what benefits establishes a decree on the right to receive, sizes and termination of general assistance.

In the name of Allah of the meal, merciful!
Article 2.
Install the main assistance for eligible for its receipt in the following sizes:
60 dinars - for the head of a family or an individual who has no family.

Article 6.
<...> Raised one of the parents, round orphans, and adopted<...> monthly get 30 dinars<...>

For those who do not know, or forgot, I want to recall that special government agencies carefully monitor the maid, excavations, and other categories of workers did not receive a salary above 30 dinars ($ 100) per month. Very good salary road worker conducted from 8 to 12 hours under flying Sun.is the amount of 50-60 dinars ($ 170-200) per month. Only the most revealing fines of capitalist labor in construction can rely on 90-100 dinars ($ 300-330) per month, but such - units.
