Prayer times by region in Turkmenistan
Our pages in Turkmenistan are organised in 6 regions. Open your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes between cities, east to west and north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Turkmenistan
Times for Turkmenistan 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+5). In the capital Ashgabat, Fajr is around 3:48 AM and Maghrib 8:32 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:44 AM and Maghrib at 5:50 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 32 min to 14 h 48 min.
Our cities in Turkmenistan stretch from Türkmenbaşy in the west to Magdanly in the east, and from Köneürgenç in the north to Sarahs in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Magdanly about 52 minutes before Türkmenbaşy, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Ashgabat is no substitute for that of your own city.
