Oman Grants Extended Three-Day Weekend for Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday

Oman declared Sunday, September 7, 2025, a public holiday in observance of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, extending the regular Friday-Saturday weekend into a three-day respite. The holiday aligns with traditional Islamic moon-sighting practices and applies to both public and private sectors. Citizens and residents can enjoy added leisure time or participate in religious observances and community events. The extension reflects Oman’s respect for cultural traditions and offers a moment of communal pause during the busy week. The move has been welcomed by many as a meaningful and practical gesture.
