Qatar Removes September 3 From List Of National Public Holidays

Sources: Copp Clark and Qatar public holidays. In our post of April 5, we reported on the creation of a new public holiday to be celebrated henceforth in Qatar, every year, on December 18. At the time, there were some doubts as to what would happen to September 3, a public holiday that was also meant to embody the National Day. It has now been confirmed that in compensation for the new public holiday on December 18, the day of September 3, starting in 2007, will no longer be a public holiday in Qatar.
