How prayer times are calculated in the Central African Republic

Times for Central African Republic 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 Bangui, Fajr is around 4:20 AM and Maghrib 5:59 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:33 AM and Maghrib at 5:40 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 52 min to 12 h 23 min.

Our cities in the Central African Republic stretch from Baboua in the west to Obo in the east, and from Birao in the north to Nola in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Obo about 47 minutes before Baboua, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Bangui cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in the Central African Republic

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Bangui lasts about 13 h 09 min at the start of the month and 13 h 13 min at the end, with imsak at 4:40 AM and iftar at 5:59 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or browse the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
