An Islamic day begins at sunset: the night of each date is the evening before it.
Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar used in Saudi Arabia. Countries that begin a month on a local moon sighting, among them Algeria and Morocco, may keep a feast a day later, and Saudi Arabia's own sighting sets the days of the Hajj.
