How prayer times are calculated in Rwanda

Times for Rwanda 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 Kigali, Fajr is around 4:35 AM and Maghrib 6:05 PM around 21 December, whereas around 21 June Fajr comes at 4:46 AM and Maghrib at 6:02 PM. Daylight there ranges from 12 h 01 min to 12 h 14 min.

Our cities in Rwanda stretch from Cyangugu in the west to Kibungo in the east, and from Bugaragara in the north to Bugarama in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Kibungo about 7 minutes before Cyangugu, 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 Kigali is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Rwanda

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Kigali lasts roughly 13 h 22 min at the start of the month and 13 h 17 min at the end, with imsak at 4:47 AM and iftar at 6:19 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or go through the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
