How prayer times are calculated in Egypt

Pages for Egypt use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method: Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17.5° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer). In the capital Cairo, Fajr is around 4:08 AM and Maghrib 7:59 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:14 AM and Maghrib at 4:59 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 13 min to 14 h 05 min.

Our cities in Egypt stretch from As Sallūm in the west to Hala'ib in the east, and from Sīdī Barānī in the north to Hala'ib in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Hala'ib about 46 minutes before As Sallūm, 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 Cairo is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Egypt

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Cairo lasts roughly 12 h 25 min at the start of the month and 13 h 13 min at the end, with imsak at 5:03 AM and iftar at 5:38 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or go through 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.
