Ramadan will begin in Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries on Tuesday as moon observers said there was no sight of the Ramadan crescent on Sunday.

Shabaan is the eighth month and Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Shabaan started in Saudi Arabia a day ahead of the UAE due to the early sighting of the moon in the Kingdom, reports khaleejtimes.

The KSA authorities said anyone who sights the crescent with a naked eye or through binocular can report to the authorities.
