Sighters must keep an eye on the sky and look for Eid al Fitr’s herald, the “Shawwal Moon”.

Without a Moon sighting, Eid expectations revolve around predictions made using astronomical charts.

The Saudi-Arabia based Jeddah Astronomical Association predicts Eid will arrive this Wednesday, May 12.

Depending on how people celebrate, the occasion could end on May 13 or 14.
