The Gregorian calendar is solar: it tracks Earth's orbit around the sun and keeps seasons in roughly the same months. The Hijri calendar is lunar: each month starts around a new crescent moon, so a Hijri year is about 354 days instead of 365.
Umm al-Qura is the Saudi civil calendar and is the practical reference for Hajj-related dates. Tabular Hijri is a fixed arithmetic calendar with a 30-year leap-year cycle. Use tabular when you need a repeatable calculation; use Umm al-Qura when Saudi alignment is closer to the planning context.
Because the Hijri year is shorter than the solar year, Ramadan moves about 10 or 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. Over roughly 33 years it passes through winter, spring, summer, and autumn.
