Prayer times by region in Caribbean Netherlands

Our pages in Caribbean Netherlands are organised in 3 regions. Open 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 Caribbean Netherlands

Pages for Caribbean Netherlands 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−4). In the capital Kralendijk, Fajr is around 4:51 AM and Maghrib 7:00 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:33 AM and Maghrib at 6:14 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 25 min to 12 h 50 min.

Our cities in Caribbean Netherlands stretch from Kralendijk in the west to Oranjestad in the east, and from The Bottom in the north to Kralendijk in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Oranjestad about 21 minutes before Kralendijk, 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 Kralendijk is no substitute for that of your own city.
