Nobody respects laziness, whether it comes from a poor person or a rich man who “allows” people to work…

Nice joke, I know for a fact that they get exactly 11 days for eid al fatar
Still much, yeah, but they get only two of them each year, nothing else
And its given to anyone who works in qatar, not just qataris
