Eid will be on Wednesday, the Saudi Supreme Court ruled, after no one in the kingdom reported sighting the crescent moon on Monday evening.
A Royal Court statement announced the court’s ruling, which said this year's Ramadan month will be 30 days. That means Tuesday will be the last day of Ramadan.
The Supreme Court earlier called on Muslims in the kingdom to sight the crescent moon by naked eyes or through binoculars and to report to the nearest court and register their testimony for validation, should they see it on Monday evening. 
Since there was no sighting of the crescent moon, the first day of the month of Shawwal in the Hijri calendar falls on Wednesday.
The Eid holidays end on Friday and work in most companies resume on Sunday, July 10.
