About the Hijri calendar
The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar of 12 months with 29 or 30 days each, so a Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year. This tool uses the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your browser, which is the calendar-based system widely used in the Gulf.
Important note
Religious dates such as the start of Ramadan and Eid are confirmed by moon sighting and official announcements, so the actual date in Kuwait can differ by one day from a calculated date. Always follow the official announcement. See our Ramadan timetable and public holidays pages.
Frequently asked questions
Why can the result differ by a day?
