Ramadan 2026 begins February 28. Accurate Iftar (sunset) and Sehri (pre-dawn) times are essential for 2 billion Muslims worldwide. Fasting hours vary dramatically by location — from 11 hours near the equator to 18+ hours in northern latitudes. This calculator provides precise times for your city.
Ready to run the numbers?
Why: Iftar and Sehri times vary by latitude and longitude. Muslims in northern latitudes fast up to 18+ hours while those near the equator fast ~11 hours. Accurate times ensure proper observance and spiritual preparation.
How: We use astronomical calculations based on the sun's position: Fajr (astronomical twilight, 18° below horizon) and Maghrib (sunset). Sehri ends ~10 minutes before Fajr; Iftar is at Maghrib. Times shift daily as Ramadan progresses.
