Note
(a) Holidays falling on a Sunday are observed the
following Monday. (b) 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 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 may last
anything from two to 10 days, depending on the
region.
