Note:
a.*These holidays are not official, although Coptic Christians
may follow them.
b. Muslim festivals are timed according to local sightings of
various phases of the moon and the dates mentioned above are approximations.
During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes the Bairam Feast,
Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and general business
patterns can be interrupted. Some restaurants are closed during
the day but most tourist attractions and hotels are not usually
affected. Some interruption may continue into the 3-day Grand
Feast itself.
