The International Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences in the UAE have given a March 23rd, 2023 estimate for Ramadan next year. This of course is only a likely date, and the actual dates will be revealed only later once religious scholars observe certain sightings related to the appearance and cycle of the moon. However, a max 2 day difference is expected at most.

In April, in Doha, the average high-temperature is 31.9°C and the average low-temperature is 20.6°C. It’s perfect for those who can’t bear the cold. It is also perfect for those who enjoy a heritage tour with gorgeous sights like the Souq Waqif, Museum of Islamic Art, Katara Cultural Village, Al Khor Park and lots more. It is quite perfect for a 4 day stop!

The best time to visit Azerbaijan is April to June, which means you’re bang on with your long weekend dates.
