Oman's National Day is November 18th. This date celebrates independence from Portugal control in 1650. This holiday is the start of a two-day break, as November 19th is also a public holiday to mark the birthday of the Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said al Said.
If either of these days falls on a weekend, a substitute day may be observed.
According to Royal Decree No. 27/2006, the actual dates of the holidays for the National Day may be modified to suit the public interest and in recent years both public holidays have been delayed until the end of November.
