Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MENA Marketing Calendar by Sawwikly?
It is an interactive planning tool built by Sawwikly to help business owners, growth marketers, and campaign managers plan ahead for 161 key marketing and shopping occasions across 18 Arab countries through Q4 2026 and all of 2027. It includes campaign angles for 15 distinct industries, advance prep cutoffs, and export capabilities to Excel, iCal, and PDF.
How accurate are the Hijri and lunar dates such as Ramadan and Eid?
All Hijri occasions are calculated based on the official Umm al-Qura calendar. Because actual dates depend on official moon-sighting announcements by religious authorities in each country, they are flagged with a ±1 day notice so you can build flexibility into launch dates.
When do the major 2027 shopping tentpoles begin (Ramadan 1448 & White Friday)?
Ramadan 1448 is expected to start on 8 February 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr around 9 March 2027 and Eid al-Adha on 16 May 2027. The year-end shopping peak, including White Friday / Black Friday, begins in mid-November 2027, peaking on 26 November 2027.
