Unlike the solar-based Gregorian calendar, the Hijri calendar’s months can vary
in length, lasting either 29 or 30 days.

Should the crescent remain unseen on 28 February, Ramadan is expected to
commence on 2 March instead.

To aid in confirming the sighting, the Ramadan Crescent Moon Sighting
Committee has encouraged residents to report their observations by
calling 027774647 or submitting details online.

Those providing reports will need to share their full name, location, Emirates ID,
mobile number, and any additional relevant notes regarding the sighting.

This call for moon sighting aligns with a series of official updates from UAE
government agencies regarding Ramadan arrangements.

Authorities have already announced adjusted working hours for both private
and public sectors.

Dubai has followed suit by confirming flexible work arrangements, updated
public transport schedules, and revised paid parking hours during the holy
month.

Additionally, UAE public schools will implement distance learning throughout
Ramadan.

Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, unity, and devotion, bringing families
and communities together in observance.

The official confirmation of the crescent moon sighting is a highly anticipated
event each year, and residents are encouraged to participate in this important
tradition, ensuring the timely announcement of Ramadan 2025.
