Dates marked “expected” are estimated from the Umm al-Qura calendar. Each authority announces the official dates closer to the holiday, and they can differ by a day; we update this page when the circular is published.
The 2026 dates are the official calendar the AhlanHamad payroll engine uses to count working days, leave and holiday pay in Oman.
