Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar Islamic (Hijjah) calendar.
It lasts 29 or 30 days according to the visual sightings
of the crescent. It is Muslims' month of fasting,
in which Muslims refrain from dawn until sunset from eating
and drinking, as well as, generally sinful speech
and behavior. Ramadan is a time of spiritual
reflection and worship. At sunset, Muslims hasten for the fast-breaking meal known as Iftar.
They can eat and drink all night till dawn.
Each day before dawn, Muslims observe a pre-fast meal called Suhoor. At dawn they start fasting.
Jeddah at the western coast of Saudi Arabia has its
distinguished character in Ramadan.
