UAE public holidays: 5 long breaks this year
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar where months have fixed days, the Islamic calendar is based on lunar cycles. Hence, its dates change accordingly. An Islamic month is 29 to 30 days long, but not 31 days.
Muslims celebrate Eid Al Fitr at the end of Ramadan.
