Ramazan Bayrami - dates ?

[pookie]

Could someone confirm the dates for Ramazan this year ?  I adore listening to the drummer come around the village, but think we return to the UK before it starts.  However we have friends coming out after us and I would love for them to experience waking up at 3.30 each morning...listening to the drum, then the cockerels, then the donkeys, then the Iman......hee hee

11th August until 9 September, Seker Bayrami is directly after and Kurban Bayrami I think is around mid November.

Ramazan starts on the 11th August and ends with Ramazan Bayrami on the 9th 10th and 11th September

when you say Ramazan Bayrami, do you mean Seker bayrami ?
