No antimalarial treatment in mountainous regions (around Sanaa, the djebels Maswar and Harraz for example); on the other hand, treatment is essential if you are traveling to the Red Sea region.
Respect
Ramadan date
Majority of Muslims insist on local sighting of the crescent moon to mark the start of Ramadan, but others insist on calculating the new moon or declaring it saudi to determine the start of the month. Since the first crescent after the new moon is not visible everywhere at the same time, the start and end dates of the month depend on what is visible in each location. Therefore, the dates vary from country to country, but usually only one day. |
