RIYADH: Eidul Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, is to start on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom's religious authorities announced.
In a statement carried by Saudi media, they said the crescent moon was not sighted on Friday.
As a result, Saturday would be considered the 30th and final day of Ramazan.
Qatar and Yemen also announced a Sunday start to the Eid.

Arab Imperialism. Non-Arab follow them blindly as if moon sighting is big deal.
Saudis have been following pre-set calendar for many years. They are just pretending to follow actual moonlighting. Saudis and their fellow kingdoms started ramazan a day earlier. There was no possibility astronomically to start ramazan on the day they started.
good leader deserve prayer. Please lead us well
