DUBAI, Oct 25: Ramazan will begin in Saudi Arabia and most other Gulf Arab states on Monday, regional state media reported on Saturday. Senior religious councils in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates were reported as saying the moon’s crescent was not sighted after nightfall on Saturday, and so Sunday would be the last day of the month preceding Ramazan.—Reuters
