Muslims across Oman will come together to celebrate this important holiday. The day is observed with various religious activities, including sermons that highlight the lessons from the Prophet's migration.

As a public holiday, the New Hijri Year provides an opportunity for Muslims in Oman to take a break from their daily routines, spend time with loved ones, and engage in spiritual practices.

The New Hijri Year holiday in Oman is more than just a day off; it is a profound occasion that honors a pivotal moment in Islamic history. As the anticipated date of July 7, 2024, approaches, Omanis prepare to celebrate with reverence and unity, embracing the lessons and blessings of the Prophet Muhammad's migration to Madinah.
