Oman has announced there will be a public holiday next week for Isra’a Wal Miraj.
The official holiday will fall on March 22, with ministries, public bodies and other state workers as well as private sector employees will be given the day off.
Last year Rajab 27 took place on April 3, which was also a holiday for both public and private workers.
