Hajj dates

Expected dates of the days of Hajj for 2027 to 2034, from the Umm al-Qura calendar: the 8th, 9th (Arafat) and 10th (Eid al-Adha) of Dhu al-Hijjah, with a note on moon sighting.

The Hajj begins on the 8th of Dhu al-Hijjah and its main day, the Day of Arafat, is the 9th. The 10th is Eid al-Adha. The Islamic calendar is lunar, so the dates move earlier by about eleven days each year in the Gregorian calendar. The dates below are the expected dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar; the actual days depend on the moon sighting by Saudi authorities, and can differ by a day.
