Our pages in Kuwait are organised in 6 regions. Open your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes between cities, from east to west and north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Kuwait
Times for Kuwait use the Kuwait Ministry of Awqaf method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17.5° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+3). In the capital Kuwait City, Fajr is around 3:13 AM and Maghrib 6:51 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:13 AM and Maghrib at 4:54 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 16 min to 14 h 02 min.
Our cities in Kuwait stretch from Al Jahra in the west to Al Manqaf in the east, and from Kuwait City in the north to Al Ahmadi in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Al Manqaf about 2 minutes before Al Jahra, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Kuwait City is no substitute for that of your own city.
