Prayer Times in Dar es Salaam

Today in Dar es Salaam (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 04:42, sunrise at 05:55, Dhuhr at 12:08, Asr at 15:26, Maghrib at 18:19 and Isha at 19:27 local time (UTC+3).

The times are calculated for -6.7924°, 39.2083° with the Muslim World League (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) method, the convention most widely used in Tanzania, 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 Dar es Salaam is 1° from true north (N), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 3,138 km away.

On the December solstice, the longest day of the year in Dar es Salaam, Fajr is at 04:49, Maghrib at 18:37 and Isha at 19:49; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 13 h 48 min. On the June solstice, Fajr is at 05:18 and Maghrib at 18:17, a fast of only 12 h 59 min.

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