In a recent announcement, the Dubai (UAE) Astronomical Society has set the stage for the much-anticipated arrival of Ramadan, which is now just six months away. Following the sacred month of Ramadan, the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr is expected to mark the conclusion of this significant period.
International news outlets have reported on the insights shared by Ibrahim Al Jarwan, the esteemed director of the UAE Astronomical Society. According to Al Jarwan, meticulous astronomical calculations point towards the likelihood of Ramadan commencing in the second week of March 2024.
