    For those in the Private Sector, you should point out (if you want to stick your neck out, that is) that per the Oman Labour Law article 64, employers are required to grant a different day to compensate it.

    To quote:

    "An employer may give a worker work on an official holiday if the circumstances of work
    require it. In such a case the worker either has the right to receive his salary for the
    official holiday with an increase of not less than 25% or to take a similar rest period for
    the time he has worked during the holiday.

    Should the official holiday fall on the weekly paid rest day, the employer must grant the
    worker another day to compensate for it.

    Should the official holiday fall during the period of his annual leave, the worker is not
    entitled to any compensation for it, either in cash or in extra days of holiday in lieu."

    That said, many employers ignore this law - and what can you realistically do about it?
