How prayer times are calculated in Senegal

Times for Senegal 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). In the capital Dakar, Fajr is about 5:21 AM and Maghrib 7:42 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:13 AM and Maghrib at 6:46 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 16 min to 13 h.

Our cities in Senegal stretch from Yoff in the west to Kedougou in the east, and from Ndioum in the north to Kedougou in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Kedougou about 21 minutes before Yoff, 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 Dakar is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Senegal

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Dakar lasts roughly 12 h 48 min at the start of the month and 13 h 08 min at the end, with imsak at 6:14 AM and iftar at 7:12 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.
