2017 and is expected to end on June 24, based on moon
sighting reports.
Ramadan ends when the first crescent of the new moon is
sighted again. Eid Al Fitr is the Islamic holiday that marks
the end of Ramadan.
In the UAE, work days are usually shortened by two hours
during Ramadan.
Ramdan consists of fasting from dawn to sunset. Muslims
all over the world fast during the days of this month and
make special prayers at night. The month of Ramadan
traditionally begins with a new moon sighting, marking the
start of the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. During this
period, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and certain other
activities during daylight hours in Ramadan. (Read:

Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the
Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies
from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar
calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This
difference means Ramadan moves ahead in the Gregorian
calendar by approximately 11 days every year.
The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to
country depending on whether the moon has been sighted
or not. The duration of the daily fast depends on the
number of hours between sunrise and sunset, which is
affected by which season in which Ramadan falls.
During summer months, those observing the month of
Ramadan have to fast longer hours due to the longer days.
