How prayer times are calculated in Greenland

Pages for Greenland 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−2, UTC−1 in summer). In the capital Nuuk, Fajr is about 3:03 AM and Maghrib 1:04 AM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 7:53 AM and Maghrib at 3:28 PM. Daylight there ranges from 4 h 06 min to 21 h 11 min.

Our cities in Greenland stretch from Sisimiut in the west to Qaqortoq in the east, and from Ilulissat in the north to Qaqortoq in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Qaqortoq about 31 minutes before Sisimiut, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Nuuk cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Greenland

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Nuuk lasts roughly 10 h 38 min at the start of the month and 13 h 45 min at the end, with imsak at 6:50 AM and iftar at 5:37 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 you can print and links to nearby cities.
