Frequently asked questions
Are Islamic holiday dates fixed?
No. They follow the lunar calendar and depend on the sighting of the moon, so the dates shown are expected dates and may move by a day.
Do sites close on public holidays?
Major tourist sites usually stay open, but government offices and banks close. Check opening hours for specific days.
How does Ramadan affect visitors?
Shops and restaurants often change their hours, opening before sunset and again after the evening meal. Be discreet about eating and drinking in public during daylight.
