Ramadan 2027 in Oman
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Oman decides
Oman's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Oman's Main Committee for Moon Sighting runs its own observation and in 2026 declared the crescent not visible on the evening Saudi Arabia announced it, starting Ramadan a day later (19 vs 18 February).
