Muharram Holiday

26 Jun 2025 / Oman

Ministries, public authorities and other government departments in Oman will be closed for the Muharram holiday for the new Hijri year 1447 on Sunday 29 June. Work will resume on Monday, 30 June.

There will be delays in receiving official approval as less government staff during the holiday. Visa applications can be applied during said period but approvals are subject to attendance of Immigration officials, and delays should be expected.

All marine movements during the holiday period will be on overtime basis.

The Advario and VALE Terminals at the Port of Sohar will be operational 24/7, as usual.
