Prayer times in Eritrea

Prayer times by region in Eritrea

How prayer times are calculated in Eritrea

Pages for Eritrea 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+3). In the capital Asmara, Fajr is about 4:34 AM and Maghrib 6:57 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:29 AM and Maghrib at 5:59 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 13 min to 13 h 02 min.

Our cities in Eritrea stretch from Himora in the west to Assab in the east, and from Af’abet in the north to Assab in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Assab about 25 minutes before Himora, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Asmara cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Eritrea

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Asmara lasts about 12 h 47 min at the start of the month and 13 h 08 min at the end, with imsak at 5:29 AM and iftar at 6:25 PM on the first day. Times differ 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.
