Prayer times by region in South Sudan
Our pages in South Sudan are organised in 10 regions. Open your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes between cities, from east to west and from north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in South Sudan
Pages for South Sudan 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 Juba, Fajr is around 4:27 AM and Maghrib 6:08 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:41 AM and Maghrib at 5:47 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 51 min to 12 h 24 min.
Our cities in South Sudan stretch from Kafia Kingi in the west to Torit in the east, and from Malakal in the north to Parjok in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Torit about 33 minutes before Kafia Kingi, 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 Juba cannot replace that of your own city.
