According to Al Busaidy, the calculations indicate that the moon will not be in sight on April 20th, therefore April 21st is very likely to be the last day of Ramadan. 

Oman's public and private sector employees will get the same number of days for holidays, which gives government employees' families an opportunity to spend the holidays together no matter what sector they are working in. 

A nine-day Eid break is also expected to affect the local tourism industry positively, especially Salalah and Musandam where citizens and residents are likely to flock to spend their holidays.
