The image was taken from the Al-Khatt Astronomical Observatory, at the time when the crescent was barely visible due to cloudy weather in the observatory.
Earlier, the National Centre of Meteorology predicted cloudy and rainy weather during some days of the long festive weekend.
Saudi Arabia too announced the beginning of Eid Al Fitr on Wednesday, April 10, after the moon was not sighted due to cloudy skies in the region.
