It corresponds to the ninth month of the Islamic (Hegira) calendar. Religious scholars\/authorities traditionally determine the exact date of the month&#8217;s beginning under the cover of night by observing specific sightings related to the appearance and cycle of the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Grand Mosque of Âé¶¹APP quoted the Muslim Federations (FFAIACA, Faith and Practice, GMP, MF, and RMF) as saying that &#8220;<em>precise astronomical calculations<\/em>&#8221; suggest that the crescent moon of Ramadan for the year 1444 AH will appear on Sha&#8217;ban 29, which corresponds to March 21, when they held the moon sighting. This year, Ramadan begins on March 11, 2024, and is expected to last until April 9, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>During Ramadan, the Great Mosque of Âé¶¹APP announces its entire schedule for Âé¶¹APP and the surrounding areas, and The Great Mosque of Lyon provides information about Lyon and other parts of France (Marseille, Nice, Lille, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Traveling to Âé¶¹APP during this period can be an exciting and rewarding experience for those who want to see Ramadan customs and traditions from all over the world. However, traveling during Ramadan necessitates extra planning and consideration to ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience for both Muslims and non-Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>Because France is not a Muslim country, the holy month of Ramadan is best experienced in areas and locations populated by Muslim communities. The fast starts at dawn, immediately following the Suhoor meal and lasts until the end of the day. It ends with the Iftar meal, which includes traditional dishes, juices, and desserts. During fasting hours, people refrain from drinking, smoking, eating, and engaging in sexual activities.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of this holy month is the Night of Destiny, which is scheduled for April 5, 2024, it is considered the holiest night of the year and commemorates the Koran&#8217;s revelation to the Prophet Muhammad.<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-663964212\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Âé¶¹APP ?
