Ramadan

The Ramadan start date for 2023 is expected to begin at the sunset on Thursday 23 March.

“The Islamic calendar follows the phases of the moon, commonly known as the lunar cycle. As a result, the Holy month of Ramadan falls approximately 10 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. The Ramadan start date for 2023 is expected to begin on Thursday 23 March. Lasting for 29 days or 30 days, Ramadan will end on Friday 21 April, with the celebratory days of Eid al-Fitr starting on Friday 21 April, or Saturday 22 April.”
