Public Holidays in Oman — 2027
There are 14 public holidays in Oman in 2027 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
5 of them land on the Friday + Saturday weekend, which leaves 9 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 10 before July and 4 after it — with March the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 96 days, from Saturday, August 14, 2027 to Thursday, November 18, 2027; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
4 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Oman sits in Western Asia, is run from Muscat, pays in Rial Omani, and has about 5.1M people planning around these same dates.
