First time to experience eid mubarak...need opinions..

it's my first time to experience mubarak here in riyadh. I've been here for 7 months and a friend told me that during eid mubarak, there are no open malls, store or restaurants.is this true?..thanks for the help..

It's just the opposite--it's a holiday and big party time! 

However, most business is suspended for at least five days so no banking, etc.

Thanks. Yeah, I have vacation from Aug. 8-13?..so all are close during those days?..

On the first & second day of Eid, most of shops and all malls will be closed. But you'll be able to find some restaurants and fast-food outlets open.

By the way, it's called "Eid".
"Eid Mubarak" is a greeting for "Eid" :)
