Prayer times by region in the Dominican Republic

Our pages in the Dominican Republic are organised in 32 regions. Choose 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 the Dominican Republic

Pages for Dominican 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−4). In the capital Santo Domingo, Fajr is around 4:41 AM and Maghrib 7:19 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:49 AM and Maghrib at 6:08 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 01 min to 13 h 14 min.

Our cities in the Dominican Republic stretch from Jimani in the west to Punta Cana in the east, and from Monte Cristo in the north to Pedernales in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Punta Cana about 14 minutes before Jimani, 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 Santo Domingo is no substitute for that of your own city.
