The last day of Ramadan will be on Sunday May 1

Eid Al-Fitr 2022 will begin on Monday May 2 in Saudi Arabia.

The crescent moon was not sighted on Saturday April 30 in the Kingdom, according to the authorities so Sunday May 1 will be the last day of Ramadan and the first day of Eid Al Fitr 2022 will be on Monday May 2.

Eid marks the end of Ramadan, and it is signalled by the astrological positioning of the crescent moon.
