2011 Oman Public Holidays

Of course, public holidays here in the Sultanate are notoriously difficult to predict and pin-down, and also difficult to establish ahead of time what will be granted to the Public and Private sectors here.

However, here is an unconfirmed, guide of expected public holidays here. Thanks to itchy of Oman Forum for the information:

• 15 Feb Mouloud (Birth of the Prophet).
• 28 Jun Leilat al-Meiraj (Ascension of the Prophet).
• 23 Jul Renaissance Day (Marking the start of the reign of Sultan Qaboos).
• 31 Aug Eid al-Fitr (End of Ramadan).
• 6, 7 Nov Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice).
