Locals and sky-watchers spotted the slender crescent, or hilal, glowing against a dramatic twilight backdrop. The sky faded from deep blue to warm orange and red near the horizon, making the moon look even more enchanting. Faint city lights twinkled in the distance, while a few lucky onlookers caught the moment on camera!
