The Riyadh Municipality has completed its technical and logistical preparations to support the efforts of sighting the crescent moon for the month of Ramadan this year and to transfer knowledge to participants and visitors, at several astronomical observatories spread across the Riyadh region.

The observatories designated for moon sighting include cities, centers, and governorates within the Riyadh region. The sites underwent extensive preparations, which included equipping the necessary tools, improving access roads, preparing parking areas, and providing safety requirements for the observers.

These observatories are characterized by their geographical locations suitable for crescent sighting, at appropriate elevations that allow for a clearer view of the crescent moon. The infrastructure has been enhanced, and necessary facilities have been provided to ensure the accuracy of sighting operations and to revive the prophetic tradition in witnessing the Ramadan crescent.

This readiness comes as part of the municipality's role in supporting activities and events, preparing resources for specialists, and coordinating with relevant authorities to enhance cooperation in various fields, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 for a better life for residents and visitors.
