When is Eid Al Fitr 2022 in the UAE? The next public holiday is fast approaching. Eid Al Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, is about three weeks away. But the exact date depends on the sighting of the moon. Considered the festival of ending the fast, the celebration immediately comes after Ramadan.

There will be two #Ramadans in a year in 2030 The lunar calendar and cycles of the moon is what dictates when an event like #Ramadan will fall. A part of the lunar month though is that it moves forwards by 10-11 days each year. What this means is that in 2030, #Ramadan will fall both in January and then again in December. In 2030, the holy month of #Ramadan will occur twice in one year, once in January and then again in December. The reason for this unusual occurrence is that Islamic dates follow the lunar cycle. A lunar year is 354 days, shorter than the 365 days of the solar-based Gregorian calendar used by much of the western world. So this means that all Muslim dates appear to move back by about 11 days a year. The Saudi Arabian calendar for 2030 on the website timeanddate.com explains that Ramadan is likely to be observed on January 6, 2030, followed by Eid Al-Fitr on February 5, and then a second Ramadan starting on December 26. iiQ8 News There will …
