HOME > Region > Oman. Eid Al Adha holiday announced in Oman. Eid Al Adha holidays will start from September 11 to 15 for government and private sector employees, Times of Oman reported, quoting the Diwan of Royal Court and the Ministry of Manpower.
Eid al-Fitr will start on Wednesday, July 6. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar -- meaning it's calculated by the phases of the moon -- Ramadan and Eid do not fall on the same date each year. The lunar calendar also means that Eid cannot start without a confirmed sighting of the new moon. Time-zones also impact when Eid starts. This year, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Indonesia and the Philippines have all officially announced Eid to start on Wednesday, July 6. Once Eid starts, the celebrations can last for up to three days in most countries.
