Prayer times by region in North Macedonia

Our pages in North Macedonia are organised in 70 regions. Open your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, from east to west and from north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in North Macedonia

Times for North Macedonia 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+1, UTC+2 in summer). In the capital Skopje, Fajr is about 2:46 AM and Maghrib 8:13 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:18 AM and Maghrib at 4:06 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 07 min to 15 h 15 min.

Our cities in North Macedonia stretch from Debar in the west to Pehcevo in the east, and from Kriva Palanka in the north to Bitola in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Pehcevo about 9 minutes before Debar, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Skopje is no substitute for that of your own city.
