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 Idd El Fitry, Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and normal business patterns may be disrupted slightly. Some disruption may continue into Idd El Fitry itself. Idd El Fitry and Idd El Haji (Eid al-Adha) may last anything from two to ten days, depending on the region. For more information, see the World of Islam appendix.
