Double the Ramadan, double the Fun in 2030 Saudi Arabia!

Hold onto your prayer mats, folks! The year 2030 is set to be a monumental one for Saudi Arabia, not just because of its groundbreaking projects but also because Muslims worldwide will observe Ramadan twice in a single Gregorian year…a phenomenon that occurs roughly every 30 years due to the lunar-based Islamic Hijri calendar.

The Islamic calendar is about 10 to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, causing Islamic months to shift earlier each year…

So in 2030, this alignment means Muslims will fast during January and then again in December, totaling around 36 days of fasting that year!
