How prayer times are calculated in Somalia

Pages for Somalia 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+3). In the capital Mogadishu, Fajr is about 4:38 AM and Maghrib 6:08 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:41 AM and Maghrib at 5:57 PM. Daylight there ranges from 12 h to 12 h 14 min.

Our cities in Somalia stretch from Dhamas in the west to El Dibir in the east, and from El Dibir in the north to Kaambooni in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in El Dibir about 40 minutes before Dhamas, 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 Mogadishu cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Somalia

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Mogadishu lasts roughly 13 h 14 min at the start of the month and 13 h 14 min at the end, with imsak at 4:50 AM and iftar at 6:14 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.

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