The holy month of Ramadan continues throughout the Islamic world, during which Muslims keep fasting. While Ramadan is held at the same time for everyone, the duration of fasting varies, especially among Muslims living in the north.

According to the German company Statista, specializing in market and consumer data, Muslims in Oslo, London and Istanbul fast the longest during Ramadan.

So, in Oslo, on average, they keep a fast of almost 16.5 hours a day. Muslims of the English capital, which is located in second place, fast for about 15 hours, and residents of Istanbul go without food for 14.5 hours. Overseas, in one of the largest agglomerations of the world — New York - fasting is observed for an average of 14 hours and 11 minutes.
