How prayer times are calculated in Cape Verde

Pages for Cape Verde 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 Praia, Fajr is around 4:45 AM and Maghrib 7:06 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:38 AM and Maghrib at 6:09 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 15 min to 13 h 01 min.

Our cities in Cape Verde stretch from Porto Novo in the west to Sal Rei in the east, and from Pombas in the north to Nova Sintra in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Sal Rei about 9 minutes before Porto Novo, 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 Praia cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Cape Verde

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Praia lasts about 12 h 48 min at the start of the month and 13 h 08 min at the end, with imsak at 5:38 AM and iftar at 6:36 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.
