Al Drour is a 365-day calendar, divided into four main sections representing seasons. There are three seasons of 100 days and one of 60 days. The remaining days are known as Al Khams Al Masrouqa, or the five stolen days.
The first 100 days of the calendar represent the autumn, known as Al Asfar, followed by 100 days of winter, or Sheta, then summer, Saif, and, because this is the Gulf, a second, really hot summer period known as Al Qaiz. The last five stolen days represent turbulent and unpredictable weather.
