How to read the timetable
Suhoor must end by Fajr, the dawn prayer. Many printed timetables show imsak a few minutes earlier, as a margin. Iftar is at Maghrib, at sunset. The last column shows how long the fast lasts that day, from Fajr to Maghrib.
The table follows the Umm al-Qura calendar for the dates. The actual first day of Ramadan and Eid is announced after the moon sighting and can move by a day, so check the announcement in your country.
Fasting hours across the region
Ramadan 1448 falls in February and March 2027, in the Gulf winter, so fasts are short: about 13 hours in Riyadh and Dubai. Fasts are longer further north and shorter towards the equator.
