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 which precedes Eid al-Fitr, normal business patterns may be interrupted since local Muslims fast during the day and feast at night.

Many restaurants are closed during the day and there may be restrictions on smoking and drinking. Some disruption may continue into Eid al-Fitr itself. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha may last anything from two to 10 days, depending on the region. For more information, see the World of Islam appendix. Buddhist festivals are also timed according to phases of the moon and variations may occur. Please double check again for prior to your departure date.
