MUSCAT: With the week-long Eid Al Fitr holidays coming to an end, offices in both public and private sector are expected to witness full attendance from Sunday onwards.
Government and private sector offices will reopen on Sunday after the seven-day Eid holidays. “We had a good break and could spend some valuable time with family,” said Adnan Al Balushi, a government employee living in Seeb.
On Saturday, Muscat International Airport witnessed heavy traffic on with people returning to the city from their native places and others coming back after holidaying abroad. “I flew to India on April 29 and returned back on May 7. It was a short but good holiday. I could meet my relatives and spend some good time with them,” said Rajesh Kumar who went on an Eid break to Kerala.

Eid Al Fitr, one of the biggest religious festivals, was celebrated in the country amid much enthusiasm and fervour last week. For the first time in two-years, Oman witnessed the most vibrant celebrations, thanks to the declining coronavirus cases and relaxed restrictions in the country.
“This Eid was very special for us. We celebrated after two years due to pandemic restrictions. The best part is that we could meet our dear ones,” said Hisham Al Mamari from Seeb.
“It was very special at the same time an emotional Eid for all of us. It’s also a sign that we are getting slowly back to normal. I am seeing the happiness among my people now,” added Mohammed Al Balushi from Muscat.
