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.
Christmas and Easter holidays are only celebrated by Christian
business establishments. |
