How prayer times are calculated in Iceland

Times for Iceland 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). In the capital Reykjavik, Fajr is around 2:04 AM and Maghrib 12:03 AM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 7:53 AM and Maghrib at 3:29 PM. Daylight there ranges from 4 h 08 min to 21 h 08 min.

Our cities in Iceland stretch from Isafjordur in the west to Egilsstaðir in the east, and from Isafjordur in the north to Selfoss in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Egilsstaðir about 35 minutes before Isafjordur, 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 Reykjavik is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Iceland

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Reykjavik lasts roughly 10 h 38 min at the start of the month and 13 h 44 min at the end, with imsak at 6:50 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 reach 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 you can print and links to nearby cities.
