[ Official confirmation from moon sighting committee: Ramadan begins tomorrow ]
Ramadan will begin on July 10, the state news agency Wam said yesterday.
The date was revealed after the Sharjah Planetarium at the Department of Culture and Information announced that the Ramadan Crescent will form on July 8, setting a few minutes before the sunset.
"The crescent will be seen on July 9th in the evening. So the first day of Ramadan will be July 10th, astronomically, corresponding to Ramadan 01, 1434 H," said Wam.
