Prayer times by region in Bahrain
Our pages in Bahrain are organised in 4 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes between cities, east to west and north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Bahrain
Times for Bahrain use the Gulf Region method: Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Times are shown in local time (UTC+3). In the capital Manama, Fajr is around 3:06 AM and Maghrib 6:33 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:51 AM and Maghrib at 4:50 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 30 min to 13 h 47 min.
Our cities in Bahrain stretch from Dār Kulayb in the west to Sitrah in the east, and from Al Muharraq in the north to Dār Kulayb in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Sitrah about less than a minute before Dār Kulayb, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Manama cannot replace that of your own city.
