Prayer times by region in Uruguay

Our pages in Uruguay are organised in 19 regions. Choose your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes between cities, from east to west and from north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Uruguay

Times for Uruguay 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 Montevideo, Fajr is about 3:41 AM and Maghrib 7:58 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 6:22 AM and Maghrib at 5:41 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 49 min to 14 h 30 min.

Our cities in Uruguay stretch from Fray Bentos in the west to Melo in the east, and from Artigas in the north to Montevideo in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Melo about 17 minutes before Fray Bentos, 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 Montevideo cannot replace that of your own city.
