Prayer times in Cameroon

Check today’s prayer times in Cameroon: Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for 86 cities, each calculated for its own coordinates. Cameroon is in Africa and uses a single time zone (UTC+1), so the time of the adhan changes from city to city. We use the Muslim World League method, which you can change in the settings of any page.

Prayer times by region in Cameroon

Our pages in Cameroon are organised in 10 regions. Open your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Cameroon

Pages for Cameroon use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+1). In the capital Yaoundé, Fajr is around 4:50 AM and Maghrib 6:26 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:00 AM and Maghrib at 6:09 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 54 min to 12 h 21 min.

Our cities in Cameroon stretch from Bamusso in the west to Touboro in the east, and from Blangwa in the north to Ambam in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Touboro about 26 minutes before Bamusso, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Yaoundé cannot replace that of your own city.
