Home / Ramadan Times / Egypt / Cairo
This is the complete Ramadan 2027 calendar for Cairo, Egypt, giving the daily fasting times in Cairo for all 30 days of Ramadan 1448 AH, from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. Expected boundaries for Egypt: a first fast on Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the crescent, and Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. The shape of the month in Cairo: the fast begins at 12 hours 25 minutes on day 1 (Fajr 05:13, Maghrib 17:38) and by day 30 those bookends have moved to 04:46 and 17:59, a fast of 13 hours 13 minutes. Every time is computed for Cairo by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method (Africa/Cairo). Elsewhere in Egypt, longitude shifts the minutes; a local mosque timetable outranks this city table wherever the two disagree.
Each row of the Cairo table is one fast: Sehri ends at the Fajr figure — 05:13 at the month's start, 04:46 at its end — and the fast, begun after the blessed pre-dawn meal taken just before that deadline, runs untouched until the Maghrib figure. Nothing is eaten or drunk from Fajr until Maghrib, when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Cairo that wait is 12 hours 25 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 13 minutes on the last. The drift is the reason the table exists row by row: Because the month falls in late winter at Cairo's latitude (30.0), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before. Mark the table's last third: the odd nights beginning at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March carry the search for Laylat al-Qadr, and in Cairo the 27th night — from Maghrib on 5 March — follows a day whose fast ran 04:50 to 17:57.

One calendar, four madhabs — and only one moving part. The Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools all begin the fast at Fajr and end it at Maghrib, so Sehri and Iftar in Cairo are the same 05:13 and 17:38 on day 1 for every Sunni worshipper. The printed pair on day 1 — 15:14 (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) and 16:00 (Hanafi) — encodes the classical shadow disagreement, and the table keeps both columns all month so nobody has to convert by hand. Choose your madhab once on the live page and the Asr column, the Today box and the downloadable PDF all follow it — the Sehri and Iftar columns will not change, because they were never in dispute.
The Jafari convention sits alongside this calendar as a clearly labelled adjustment. Following the customary precaution, Sehri is completed 10 minutes before Fajr and Iftar is taken 12 minutes after Maghrib: in Cairo on day 1 that is Sehri by 05:03 and Iftar at 17:50, and on day 30 Sehri by 04:36 and Iftar at 18:11. The adjustment touches only the two ends of the fast; it does not move Dhuhr, Asr or Isha, and it is presented as Jafari fiqh practice so that no reader mistakes a precautionary time for the Fajr or Maghrib of the main method.
Dua at Sehri (intention): Wa bi-sawmi ghadin nawytu min shahri Ramadan — "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan." Dua at Iftar: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu — "O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I trust in You, and I break my fast with the provision You have given." Keep both short duas by the table in Cairo: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (05:13 on day 1), the second at the moment of Iftar, with dates and water, before the Maghrib prayer. In the last ten nights add the Laylat al-Qadr dua taught by the Prophet: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni — "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me."
About these times in Cairo: calculation method Egyptian General Authority of Survey, calculation point Cairo (Africa/Cairo). Fajr and Isha rest on the method's sun angles; Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun's actual position over Cairo. Mosques in Cairo may differ by a minute or two where they add a precaution at Fajr or Maghrib; that difference is deliberate, not an error, and the mosque you pray with is the timetable to follow on the day.
Why thirty rows when Ramadan may end at twenty-nine? Because the month is completed at 30 only when the Shawwal crescent stays unseen on the 29th evening. The table prints all thirty so both endings are covered: Printing both endings is the only honest way to publish the table in advance. A later announced start shifts everything by a day; an earlier one is not possible once the month has begun. Calculation methods also matter more at the edges of the day than in the middle: the Egyptian General Authority of Survey convention fixes the sun angles for Fajr and Isha used for Cairo, while Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun directly, which is why timetables from different sources agree on Iftar to the minute but sometimes differ slightly at Fajr and Isha.
Finally, a practical word for people whose days are long or whose work is physical: the fast in Cairo runs from 12 hours 25 minutes at its shortest (day 1) to 13 hours 13 minutes at its longest (day 30), and your own situation — illness, medication, pregnancy, travel — may carry a ruling of its own. Guides linked below work through the exemptions and what replaces a missed fast — Fidya or Qaza — and a scholar in Egypt can apply them to your case. May Allah accept it from you and from us, and bless the month for Cairo.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Cairo, Egypt, pending the moon sighting that confirms it. A one-day slip in the start moves the whole table by one row: day 1's times (05:13 Fajr, 17:38 Maghrib in Cairo) would simply attach to the following Gregorian date.
On day 1 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027, 1 Ramaḍān 1448), Sehri ends at Fajr, at 05:13 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027), and the fast is broken at Maghrib 17:38. Eat and drink before that time; the fast then runs 12 hours 25 minutes until Maghrib. Fajr drifts 27 minutes earlier across the month in Cairo, ending at 04:46 on day 30, while Iftar moves to 17:59.
Times here follow the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method for Cairo (Africa/Cairo), produces every time in this table for Cairo, in the Africa/Cairo zone. Fajr gives the Sehri end time and Maghrib gives Iftar; the method's sun angles are what fix Fajr at 05:13 and Isha at 18:57 on day 1, while Dhuhr (12:09) and Maghrib follow the sun directly. Communities and mosques occasionally adjust by a minute or two for precaution, so treat your local mosque's timetable as final where it differs slightly. A branded PDF calendar for Cairo, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
The two Asr columns are the one place where the four Sunni madhabs differ on this calendar. On day 1 the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali Asr is 15:14, while the Hanafi Asr is 16:00 — 46 minutes later. The difference comes from the shadow rule: the first three schools begin Asr when an object's shadow equals its length (besides the noon shadow), while the Hanafi school waits until the shadow is twice the length. Follow the madhab you normally pray by, and use the same column all month so your Taraweeh and Iftar routine stays consistent.
In Cairo the month peaks on day 30: 13 hours 13 minutes from Fajr 04:46 to Maghrib 17:59 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027). The shortest is day 1 at 12 hours 25 minutes, and day 1 runs 12 hours 25 minutes against day 30's 13 hours 13 minutes. Because the month falls in late winter at Cairo's latitude (30.0), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before.
Jafari practice in Cairo is shown separately on the live page: stop eating 10 minutes before Fajr, and break the fast 12 minutes after Maghrib. On day 1 in Cairo that means Sehri by 05:03 (Fajr 05:13 minus 10 minutes) and Iftar at 17:50 (Maghrib 17:38 plus 12 minutes). Nothing else in the table changes for Jafari readers: the adjustment touches only the start and end of the fast, and it is labelled as Jafari practice rather than mixed into the Sunni madhab columns.
