The Ministry of Labour in Oman has announced that the country will observe its National Day holiday on November 25 and 26, 2026. This two-day holiday falls on a Wednesday and Thursday, allowing citizens and residents to enjoy an extended break through the weekend. This announcement is part of Oman’s official schedule of national and religious holidays for 2026, helping both public and private sector organizations plan their activities and work schedules in advance.
In addition to National Day, Oman has scheduled other holidays for 2026, including the Sultan’s Accession Day on January 15, Al Isra’a Wal Mi’raj on January 18, the Hijri New Year on June 18, and the Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday on August 27. The dates for the Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha holidays will be announced later, as they depend on official declarations regarding the start of the Hijri months.
National Day in Oman is marked by various events and activities across its governorates, celebrating the nation’s heritage, culture, and national identity. The advance notice of the holiday dates is intended to facilitate better planning and participation in these festivities.
