when was ramadan 2024

Ramadan in 2024 began in mid‑March and ended in early April, with slight variations by country due to local moon sightings.

Core dates

  • In many countries (following Saudi announcements), the first day of fasting was Monday 11 March 2024.
  • The month ended around Tuesday 9 April 2024 , with Eid al‑Fitr on Wednesday 10 April 2024 in much of the world.
  • Some calendars describe it as starting evening of Sunday 10 March and lasting until sunset Monday 8 or Tuesday 9 April , reflecting lunar and local differences.

Why dates differ

  • Ramadan starts with the new crescent moon after the 29th of Sha’ban, so exact dates can shift by a day depending on local moon sighting and jurisprudential opinion.
  • As a lunar month, it moves about 10–11 days earlier each Gregorian year , which is why Ramadan 2024 fell in March–April.
