How prayer times are calculated in French Polynesia

Times for French Polynesia 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 the local time of each city (UTC−10; UTC−9:30). In the capital Papeete, Fajr is about 3:59 AM and Maghrib 6:32 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:10 AM and Maghrib at 5:33 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 05 min to 13 h 11 min.

Our cities in French Polynesia stretch from Uturoa in the west to Taiohae in the east, and from Taiohae in the north to Punaauia in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Taiohae about 45 minutes before Uturoa, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Papeete is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in French Polynesia

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Papeete lasts about 14 h 02 min at the start of the month and 13 h 31 min at the end, with imsak at 4:23 AM and iftar at 6:35 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.
