The first day of Eid Al Adha will fall on September 24, Saudi Arabia said on Sunday, according to Al Arabiya TV.
The announcement was made after the kingdom’s official moon-sighting body detected the Dhul Hijjah crescent.
September 23 will be Arafat day, since Eid Al Adha comes one day after Muslim pilgrims stand on Mount Arafat in the outskirts of Makkah in western Saudi Arabia as part of their pilgrimage.
