Frequently asked questions
Why is the Ramadan start date an estimate?
Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon of the month of Ramadan, which is confirmed closer to the date by religious authorities and moon-sighting committees. This countdown uses the calculated (tabular) Islamic calendar, so the actual start may shift by a day.
Does Ramadan fall on the same date every year?
No — because the Hijri calendar is lunar, Ramadan moves earlier by about 10-11 days each Gregorian year, cycling through all four seasons over roughly 33 years.
Is it a good time to plan Umrah around Ramadan?
Performing Umrah during Ramadan is considered especially rewarding by many, which also makes it one of the busiest and most sought-after times to travel — worth booking well in advance if that's your plan.
