About Ramadan Start

The start of Ramadan marks the beginning of the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, during which Muslims worldwide engage in fasting from dawn until sunset. It is considered a holy month of prayer, reflection, and community, commemorating the revelation of the Quran. While not a public holiday in the secular sense, it deeply influences the daily rhythm and working hours in Qatar.
