Celebrated as per the Islamic Calendar, Ramadan is a month when Muslims fast for long periods of the day, nearly over 13 hours and break the fast every day after sunset. For the year of 2018, this celebration has been announced to be taking place from mid-May to mid-June.
The fast starts at sunrise and ends when the sun has set, with the dates changing every year as per the solar and lunar calendar. You can be in for a treat at the end of the day, as you find large gatherings of families and friends, all uniting to celebrate the end of the fast for the day.
