Note:
Muslim feasts 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 Eid al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day
and feast at night and normal business patterns may be interrupted. 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.
