Not so good news I think...
For people like me living in Marina is not so good. We will be cut from the triangle of fun and even if we can make it now and return with the prey she will probably not be able to return tomorrow...
I tried calling several offices (using my arab speaker employee) like Police and Road and Transport Authority.
Nobody knows anything about timings or anything. I am not even sure if people will be able to make to/from the airport. At one place we were told that traffic would not be allowed to all.
So, if you are flying tomorrow good luck.
[QUOTE=Tom2004]Dear Friends,
it is not on me to discuss politics here, but I believe most of you will believe, at least for a small part of a second, G. W. Bush is a great guy, as his visit brings you an addtional day off. When he came over to my home country we faced similar problems, but had to make sure we make our way to work.
So have another great night out today, enjoy it and report it. Because I am fare away and punching numbers only .....
Here the quote:
Public holiday announced for Monday
by Joel Bowman on Sunday, 13 January 2008
A public holiday has been declared for all businesses in Dubai on Monday as security clamps down for US president George W Bush’s visit.
All ministries, government departments, schools and private companies in Dubai will be closed for the president’s arrival.
Sources close to the matter announced that Sheikh Zayed Road will be closed from 6pm on Sunday night.
Greetings,
Tom
P.S.: ...well you might be correct when intending to respond the real great guy it the leader in DXB, and you are certainly correct - but I wanted to be positive, at least once in life time.[/QUOTE]
