Note
Muslim festivals are timed depending on local
sightings of various phases of the moon and the dates given above
are approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan
that precedes Eid al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day and feast
at night and normal business patterns can be interrupted.
Many restaurants are closed during the day and
there may be restrictions on drinking and smoking. Some disruption
may continue into Eid al-Fitr itself. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha
may last anything from 2 to 10 days, depending on the region. |
