Prayer Times in Dakar

Today in Dakar (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 05:54, sunrise at 07:08, Dhuhr at 12:55, Asr at 16:12, Maghrib at 18:39 and Isha at 19:48 local time (UTC+0).

The times are calculated for 14.7167°, -17.4677° with the Muslim World League (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) method, the convention most widely used in Senegal, and the Standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) rule for Asr. Your local mosque may add a few minutes of precaution or use a different method, so its timetable takes precedence.

The qibla from Dakar is 74° from true north (ENE), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 6,071 km away.

On the June solstice, the longest day of the year in Dakar, Fajr is at 05:22, Maghrib at 19:42 and Isha at 20:57; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 14 h 20 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 06:14 and Maghrib at 18:46, a fast of only 12 h 32 min.

Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier every year, so over a 33-year cycle the fasting day in Dakar ranges between these two lengths. See the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Dakar for suhoor and iftar times.
