Here’s when Ramadan 2019 is likely to begin in Abu Dhabi

The announcement was made by the International Astronomical Center.

The Ramadan dates for 2019 have been predicted by astronomers and are set to be announced within the next few days.

According to the International Astronomical Centre, Ramadan is likely to start on Monday May 6 in the Middle East.

Each year the start and end date are announced following observations by religious experts.

The dates are determined by the sighting of the moon and the official start and end of Ramadan are dependent on the cycle of the moon.

During Ramadan, iftar is the meal that breaks the fast after the sun sets each day and there are loads to choose from across the city.

Before the sun rises in the morning, suhoors are also held across the emirate.
