Prayer times by region in Mauritius

Our pages in Mauritius are organised in 12 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each 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 Mauritius

Pages for Mauritius 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+4). In the capital Port Louis, Fajr is around 4:03 AM and Maghrib 6:49 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:26 AM and Maghrib at 5:39 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 55 min to 13 h 21 min.

Our cities in Mauritius stretch from Vingt Cinq in the west to Port Mathurin in the east, and from Vingt Cinq in the north to Souillac in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Port Mathurin about 27 minutes before Vingt Cinq, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Port Louis cannot replace that of your own city.
