Islam · 2033
In 2033, Ramadan starts falls on a Tuesday.
Ramadan starts 2033 falls on Tuesday, November 22, 2033. That is a Tuesday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 326th day of 2033 and sits in ISO week 47. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.
With Ramadan starts on a Tuesday, a single day of leave on the Monday turns it into a four-day weekend, the classic "bridge day" pattern.
Compared with 2032, when it fell on December 3, Ramadan starts 2033 moves about 12 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and a sacred period for Muslims worldwide. The month is widely observed through dawn-to-sunset fasting, increased prayer, Qur'an recitation, reflection, and acts of charity. The first day depends on the start of the Hijri month, so the Gregorian date shifts earlier by about eleven days each year. In many places, the start is confirmed by religious authorities after moon-sighting reports, while calendar-based dates are used for planning. This page uses the Ramadan start date already present in timekit's 2026-2035 religious holidays data, computed with the site's Hijri engine. Local observance can vary by one day.
