The time of entering fasting in 2018: May 16, 2018, Lunar New Year's Eve, April 2nd, 2018

The time of fasting in 2018: June 15, 2018, the lunar calendar, Friday, May 20, 2018

From May 15th to 16th (depending on the moon around the world), Muslims will begin a month-long Ramadan celebration. At the end of the month of Ramadan, marked by the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, it will be held between June 14 and June 16 (depending on the country and the start of Ramadan). It is expected that in this sacred month, many enterprises, restaurants and government administrations will shorten the working hours, and diplomatic missions may also follow a similar schedule.

Due to the increase in the number of people and goods, especially at the airport, it is expected to cause a certain degree of disruption of the transportation during this period. Because after the sunset, Muslims usually gather to celebrate and eat with their families, especially on the weekends, traffic in the evening is particularly busy and even heavy traffic.

In addition, due to factors such as hunger, dehydration, fatigue and impatience, traffic accidents during Ramadan (especially at dusk) will increase significantly.

Benin

As Benin’s rainy season starts from April to October, there will be heavy rain during Ramadan. Power outages, water stoppages, poor food preservation (failure of refrigerators and freezers) and shortage of drinking water. If floodwater obstructs the main aisle, traffic may be interrupted.

Due to security issues, some Western governments have suggested not to travel to the northernmost parts of Benin, including areas along the Niger and Burkina Faso borders.

2. Turkmenistan
The largest ethnic group in Turkmenistan is Muslims (89%). Individuals avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public during this time and avoid any form of public demonstration or public gathering.

3. Azerbaijan
The majority of Azerbaijan’s population is Muslim (96.9%). Individuals avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public during this time, and avoid any form of public demonstration or public gathering.

4. The Gambia
Since the rainy season in the Gambia is from late June to October, heavy rain will occur during Ramadan, resulting in power outages, water cuts, poor food preservation (failure of refrigerators and freezers) and shortages of potable water. If floodwater obstructs the main aisle, traffic may be interrupted.

The Gambia passed the Islamic Shariah on December 11, 2015, and together with Mauritania became the second "Islamic State" in Africa, although its secular constitution remains unchanged. About 96% of the country’s population in Gambia is Muslim.

5. Tajikistan
The largest ethnic group in Tajikistan is Muslims (85%). This period also marked a significant increase in regional terrorist threats in most countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Therefore, during the month of Ramadan, it is possible that goods will be stranded, suspended or even destroyed. During the fasting month of Ramadan, small partners are asked to transport goods carefully and look for reliable freight forwarding cooperation!
