The authority has requested anyone who spots the moon with their naked eye or through binoculars to notify the nearest court. The witness must also register his testimony there, or contact the nearest centre to help him reach the nearest court.
In the UAE and other Islamic countries, it is one of the most anticipated public holidays. Those in the Emirates could get a long break of four to five days, depending on the Moon-sighting results. An announcement is expected today. (Click here to read more about how the holiday is determined.)
