Ramadan 2027 in Syria
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Syria decides
Syria's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Syria did not confirm a crescent sighting on the evening Saudi Arabia announced its start and began Ramadan a day later in 2026, together with Egypt and Jordan. A specific authority name was not found in available sources.
