Eid Al-Fitr holidays in Kuwait Declared
KUWAIT CITY: First day of Eid will be Tuesday on all Gulf countries except Oman. “According to astronomical calculations and visibility conditions, Monday, Aug 29th, will be the last day of Ramadan and Tuesday, Aug 30th, will be the first day of Eid Al-Fitr,” well known Kuwaiti astronomer Dr Saleh Al-Ojairi told Al-Watan Arabic daily.
Al-Ojairi called on decision-makers in Kuwait and the Islamic Arab world to shun differences and avoid controversy when it comes to the sighting of the crescent and declaration of the first day of Eid Al-Fitr. He added that differences among Sunnis and Shiites are the main cause of controversy in this issue.
Meanwhile, northwesterly winds are expected to taper off in the next hours, to be coupled with receding dust and low waves at sea, said the director general of the meteorological department of the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation.
The winds have picked up since the morning hours today, spewing moderate dusts and resulting in high waves at the sea, said Mohammad Karam in remarks to KUNA.
