Private sector employees in Oman are set to have their working hours reduced to six hours a day during the month of Ramadan.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser al-Bakri, Minister of Manpower, issued a decision reducing working hours to six per day, equivalent to 30 hours a week.
The timings will last throughout the month of Ramadan, which is expected to begin on April 23, depending on the sighting of a new moon.
During this time, official working hours at the ministries, public authorities and other departments of the state’s administrative apparatus will be from 9am until 2pm.
