Note

Muslim festivals are timed according to local sightings of various phases of the moon, and the dates given above are approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes Aïd al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and normal business patterns may be interrupted until the end of Aïd al-Fitr. Aïd al-Fitr and Aïd al-Adha may last two to 10 days, depending on the region.
