Note: Muslim festivals are timed according to local sightings of
various phases of the moon and the dates given above are
approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes
Korité (Eid-al-Fitr), Muslims fast during the day and feast at night
and normal business patterns may be interrupted. Some disruption may
continue into Korité itself. Korité and Tabaski (Eid-al-Adha) may
last anything from two to ten days, depending on the region.
