How to make your 2027 Oman calendar
- Choose a layout. The whole year on one page, two pages, 4 or 3 months per page, or 12 monthly pages in landscape with large boxes to write in.
- Check the details. The calendar opens on A4 with the week starting on Sunday, Friday and Saturday shaded as the weekend, the Oman public holidays shaded and listed under each month, and Hijri dates in each day's box. You can switch to Monday or Sunday, turn the Hijri dates off, pick another paper size (A3, A5, US Letter and more), one of seven color themes, black and white, large print or ink saver, and add a title.
- Select Download PDF. The PDF is made in your browser in a second or two. Nothing is uploaded, and your entries are not saved or sent.
The preview is drawn by the same layout as the PDF, so what you see is what prints. Print at Actual size (100%) so the margins stay true.
Oman public holidays 2027
Royal Decree No. 88/2022 sets one list of official holidays for state bodies, other public legal persons and private sector establishments alike. The Ministry of Information lists them in two groups. The first: the Hijri New Year (1 Muharram), the Prophet's Birthday (12 Rabi al-Awwal), Isra and Miraj (27 Rajab), National Day (20 and 21 November) and the day His Majesty the Sultan assumed power, which is 11 January (Accession Day). The second: Eid al-Fitr from 29 Ramadan to 3 Shawwal, and Eid al-Adha from 9 to 12 Dhu al-Hijjah.
The table below puts each holiday on its date in that list. Accession Day and National Day have fixed Gregorian dates; the rest follow the Hijri calendar and are expected dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar.
| Date (2027) | Public holiday |
|---|---|
| Tuesday 5 January | Isra and Miraj (expected) |
| Monday 11 January | Accession Day |
| Monday 8 March to Thursday 11 March | Eid al-Fitr (expected), 4 days |
| Saturday 15 May to Tuesday 18 May | Eid al-Adha (expected), 4 days |
| Sunday 6 June | Hijri New Year (expected) |
| Saturday 14 August | Prophet's Birthday (expected) |
| Saturday 20 November to Sunday 21 November | National Day, 2 days |
| Saturday 25 December | Isra and Miraj (expected) |
Isra and Miraj (27 Rajab) comes twice in 2027, because the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter: expected on Tuesday 5 January 2027 and Saturday 25 December 2027.
How the days off can change in Oman
The list on this calendar is the legal one, not the final timetable of days off. Three things can change it, and the government announces the actual days for each year:
- Moved dates. The official list says the dates "may be modified if required by the public interest". So a holiday can be given on another day than the one in the table.
- Substitute days. If a weekend day falls on one of the holidays in the first group, one substitute day is granted. In 2027 that applies to: Prophet's Birthday (expected) on Saturday 14 August 2027; National Day on Saturday 20 November 2027; Isra and Miraj (expected) on Saturday 25 December 2027.
- Eid on a Friday. If the first day of either Eid falls on a Friday, a substitute day is granted. Neither Eid is expected to start on a Friday in 2027.
The official list does not say which day a substitute day is, so the calendar does not show substitute days. When the 2027 days off are announced, write them into the day boxes.
Weekend and working week in Oman
Oman's weekend is Friday and Saturday, and the working week runs from Sunday to Thursday. The calendar shades Friday and Saturday and starts each week on Sunday; you can switch it to Monday.
Why some dates say "expected"
Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and the other Islamic holidays follow the Hijri (lunar) calendar, so they move about 11 days earlier each year. The calendar works out their 2027 dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar and marks them (expected). In Oman the government announces the days off for each holiday every year, and for the two Eids after the moon is sighted.
Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; local moon sighting can differ by a day. The same note is printed at the foot of the PDF. Dates fixed by law, such as Accession Day on 11 January and National Day on 20 and 21 November, are not marked expected.
Questions and answers
When is Oman National Day 2027?
National Day is 20 and 21 November in the official list: Saturday 20 November to Sunday 21 November 2027. The 20th is a Saturday, so the substitute day rule applies, and the government announces the days off.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027 in Oman?
Eid al-Fitr 1448 is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027. The holiday runs from 29 Ramadan to 3 Shawwal: expected Monday 8 March to Thursday 11 March 2027.
When is Eid al-Adha 2027 in Oman?
The holiday runs from 9 to 12 Dhu al-Hijjah, starting with Arafat Day: expected Saturday 15 May to Tuesday 18 May 2027.
Is Accession Day a holiday in Oman?
Yes. The day His Majesty the Sultan assumed power is in the official list of Royal Decree No. 88/2022. His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik assumed the throne on 11 January, so in 2027 it is Monday 11 January 2027.
Do private companies in Oman get the same holidays?
Yes. The decree sets the same official holidays for government bodies and for private sector establishments.
Does the calendar show Hijri dates?
Yes. Hijri dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar are on by default, in small figures in each day's box. Untick Hijri dates to hide them.
Is my calendar saved or uploaded anywhere?
No. The calendar and the PDF are made in your browser on your own device. Your options and title are not saved or sent.
