Shorter fasting hours as likely dates of Ramadan, Eid revealed
Khaleej Times
|January 21, 2026
Ramadan this year falls during the winter season in the UAE, making fasting more comfortable, an astronomer has said, as she revealed the likely dates of the holy month and Islamic festival Eid Al Fitr.
Ramadan this year falls during a seasonal transition in the UAE.
Islamic months last either 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon.
With Tuesday, January 20, confirmed as the first day of Shaaban — the month that precedes Ramadan in the Hijri lunar calendar — astronomers can now calculate the most likely dates of Ramadan and Eid more accurately.
"Ramadan this year falls towards the end of winter and the beginning of early spring in the UAE," said Khadijah Hasan Ahmad, operations manager at the Dubai Astronomy Group, speaking to Khaleej Times.
