How prayer times are calculated in Papua New Guinea

Pages for Papua New Guinea 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 the local time of each city (UTC+10; UTC+11). In the capital Port Moresby, Fajr is about 4:31 AM and Maghrib 6:30 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:11 AM and Maghrib at 6:00 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 34 min to 12 h 41 min.

Our cities in Papua New Guinea stretch from Vanimo in the west to Arawa in the east, and from Lorengau in the north to Alotau in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Arawa about 57 minutes before Vanimo, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Port Moresby is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Papua New Guinea

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Port Moresby lasts roughly 13 h 41 min at the start of the month and 13 h 23 min at the end, with imsak at 4:49 AM and iftar at 6:39 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.
