These festivals are timed according to local sightings of various phases of the moon and the dates of the festivals. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes Eid al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day and feast at night. Most restaurants are closed during the day and there is a restriction on smoking and drinking in public places. Eid al-Fitr and Eid ul-Azha may last from two to four days, depending on the region.
