Prayer times in Amhara

Summer and winter prayer times in Amhara

The table below gives the estimated prayer times in Amhara on four key days of 2027. The earliest Fajr comes around 21 June at 4:50 AM, the longest day lasts 12 h 48 min, against only 11 h 27 min on 21 December. Isha ranges between 7:23 PM and 8:10 PM, while Dhuhr moves between 12:23 PM and 12:38 PM. These times are calculated for the coordinates of Amhara and can differ by a minute or two from the local mosque.

Amhara lies 322 km north-west of Addis Ababa, so Dhuhr in Amhara is called roughly 5 minutes later than in Addis Ababa. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Amhara.
