Oman National Day
2024-11-18 00:00 - 23:59
Omani National Day is one of the most important occasions in the Sultanate of Oman, celebrated every year on November 18th. The National Day of Oman signifies the country’s rich history, cultural pride, and progress. It unites citizens and residents through nationwide festivities.

When is Omani National Day?

Omani National Day is celebrated on November 18th every year. This date indicates Oman’s independence from Portuguese control in 1650 and is listed under travel events

It is a major holiday often referred to as 18th November Oman. The celebration also marks the start of a two-day break, as November 19th is observed as a public holiday for the Sultan’s birthday.

Why do Omanis Celebrate National Day?

Omanis celebrate National Day to honour the country’s independence from Portuguese rule in 1650 and to reflect on its journey of growth and progress. The day symbolizes national pride, unity, and loyalty to the nation.

It is also a time to celebrate Oman’s rich cultural heritage and the achievements made under its leadership, inspiring citizens to look toward a prosperous future while remembering their shared history.

History of the Oman National Holiday

The Oman National Holiday originates from the country’s struggle for independence. On 18 November 1650. Oman successfully expelled Portuguese forces who had occupied Muscat and key coastal areas since 1507.

This victory, led by the Al-Ya’ribi dynasty, marked the end of more than a century of foreign control. It is remembered as one of the earliest recorded instances of a nation in the Arabian Peninsula reclaiming its sovereignty.

The date of November 18th was later chosen as the National Day of Oman not only to honor this historic independence but also because it coincides with the birthday of Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, who came to power in 1970.

Under his reign, Oman experienced modernization, infrastructure growth, and international recognition, transforming from an isolated nation into a progressive state.

Omani National Day in 2025

In 2025, Oman’s National Day is expected to feature a range of special events, from large concerts and art exhibitions to public celebrations in major cities.

Performances by Omani musicians and cultural troupes, along with exhibitions of fine art and heritage crafts, will likely be held in Muscat.

This year also carries special significance as His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq declared November 20 the official National Day, marking the founding of the Al Busaidi dynasty in 1744.

In his leadership message, he urged citizens to uphold principles of truth, goodness, and dedication to the homeland.

Conclusion

Omani National Day is a time to honor the nation’s independence, culture, and progress. Each November, citizens and residents unite in celebrations that reflect Oman’s proud history, national identity, and vision for the future.
