"Ramadan 2024: Global Fasting and Observance Guide"

Ramadan 2024 will begin on March 11 or 12, with fasting hours ranging from 12 to 17 hours worldwide. The Islamic calendar's lunar nature causes Ramadan to start earlier each year, with 2030 seeing two observances. Cities along the same longitude share similar iftar times, while those on opposite sides prepare for suhoor. The longest fasting hours are in Nuuk, Greenland, and Reykjavik, Iceland, while the shortest are in Canberra, Australia, and Puerto Montt, Chile. Ramadan greetings vary across Muslim-majority nations.
