Eid-ul-Fitr to be marked in Saudi Arabia on Monday

The Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, April 30, hence Eid-el- Fitr will be on Monday, May 2, according to authorities. 

Tomorrow, May 1, will be the last day of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia.

Eid-ul-Fitr is marked on the first day of Shawwal - the month that comes after Ramadan in the Hijri calendar.
