Note
Muslim festivals are scheduled depending
on local sightings of various phases of the moon and the dates
given above are
rough estimates. During Ramadan, the lunar
month that precedes Eid al-Fitr, Muslims fast in
the daytime and feast during the night and common business
activities
can
be interrupted.
Many restaurants are closed during the day
and there may be restrictions on drinking and smoking. Some
interruption may
carry on
into Eid al-Fitr itself. Eid al-Fitr
and Eid al-Adha may last anything from 2 to 10 days, relying
on the region. |
