Prayer times in Kenya

Check today’s prayer times in Kenya: Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for 125 cities, each calculated for its own coordinates. Kenya is in Africa and uses a single time zone (UTC+3), so the time of the adhan changes from city to city. Times follow the Muslim World League method, and you can change it in the settings of any page.

Prayer times by region in Kenya

Our pages in Kenya are organised in 47 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and from north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Kenya

Times for Kenya 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 Nairobi, Fajr is about 5:09 AM and Maghrib 6:37 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:18 AM and Maghrib at 6:36 PM. Daylight there ranges from 12 h 03 min to 12 h 12 min.

Our cities in Kenya stretch from Busia in the west to Mandera in the east, and from Mandera in the north to Ukunda in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Mandera about 31 minutes before Busia, 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 Nairobi cannot replace that of your own city.
