Calendar Of Annual Local Events in Oman - September to November

There's so much happening in Oman all year round. Plan ahead with our monthly events calendar. 

September

Turtle Spotting

The best time of year to spot turtles nesting on the beaches of Ras Al Hadd and Ras Al Jinz is during September. These turtles migrate to Oman from the Red Sea and East African Coast.

Golf

Due to the climate, golfing in Oman is most popular from the months of September to May. Muscat now has three 18-hole grass golf courses, with more expected to launch in the near future.

October

Another good time to spot respiratory birds such as gulls, terns, warblers and eagles.

National Bank of Oman Golf Classic

The championship course at Almouj Golf, The Wave, Muscat is perfect setting for this promising new European Challenge tournament.

November

Dubai to Muscat Race

Each November, around three-dozen sailing yachts compete in the Dubai to Muscat Race, navigating the Strait of Hormuz en route.

Muscat Regatta

Following the Dubai to Muscat Race, the Muscat Regatta includes two days of competitive yacht and dinghy sailing, followed by a race across the waves from Muscat to Khasab on the Musandam Peninsula.

Oman National Day

Both Sultan Qaboos’ birthday and Oman’s National Day, 18 November is an important public holiday in Oman.
