Some days here follow a calendar other than the Gregorian one, such as End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha), Islamic New Year. Those dates are calculated rather than announced, so the real day can fall a day either side of what is shown. Check them against an official calendar before you book around one.
