Prayer times by region in Mozambique

Our pages in Mozambique are organised in 11 regions. Choose your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes between cities, east to west and north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Mozambique

Times for Mozambique 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). In the capital Maputo, Fajr is about 3:24 AM and Maghrib 6:41 PM around 21 December, whereas around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:14 AM and Maghrib at 5:07 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 31 min to 13 h 46 min.

Our cities in Mozambique stretch from Ressano Garcia in the west to Mozambique in the east, and from Mocímboa in the north to Boane in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Mozambique about 35 minutes before Ressano Garcia, 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 Maputo is no substitute for that of your own city.
