About these holidays in Oman (2027)
Our Oman public holidays guide explains the background of each holiday and how the dates are set.
Isra' and Mi'raj (estimated)
Isra and Mi'raj commemorates the night journey of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and his ascension through the heavens, observed on the twenty seventh day of Rajab. It is a public holiday in several Muslim majority countries, marked with evening prayers, recitations and storytelling. The Gregorian date moves about eleven days earlier each year, so calendars list it as estimated until the moon sighting confirms it.
Eid al-Fitr (estimated)
Eid al-Fitr is the festival that ends Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, and begins on the first day of Shawwal. It is a two or three day public holiday across much of the Muslim world. The date depends on the sighting of the new moon, so published calendars mark it as estimated until it is confirmed. Families gather for prayer, shared meals and charitable giving before the fast was broken each evening of Ramadan.
Eid al-Adha (estimated)
Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, falls on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah during the annual Hajj pilgrimage. It honours the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Muslims who can afford it sacrifice an animal and share the meat with family, neighbours and the poor. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the Gregorian date moves about ten days earlier each year and is listed as estimated.
Islamic New Year (estimated)
The Islamic New Year, or Hijri New Year, begins on the first day of Muharram, the month that starts the lunar Islamic calendar. It commemorates the Hijra, the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. It is a public holiday in many Muslim majority countries. Because the Islamic year is about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, the date shifts annually and is published as estimated.
Prophet's Birthday (estimated)
The Prophet's Birthday, or Mawlid al-Nabi, marks the birth of the Prophet Muhammad on the twelfth day of Rabi al-Awwal in the Islamic calendar. It is a public holiday in many Muslim majority countries, observed with recitations of poetry, charitable meals and processions, though its observance is disputed in some traditions. The Gregorian date shifts about ten days earlier each year and is therefore published as estimated.
