Home / Ramadan Zone / Ramadan Time Zone Converter
Ramadan is the most internationally synchronised month of the year — billions of people keeping the same rhythm — and yet iftar lands at a different moment for every family member scattered across the map. This converter answers the question that starts a thousand video calls: when it is iftar there, what time is it here?
Pick any two of the 144 cities. You get a live clock for each, today's Sehri (Fajr) and Iftar (Maghrib) for each, and one carefully computed sentence: when it is iftar in the first city today, the clock in the second city reads a specific time — on the same day, or the day before or after. That last detail matters more than people expect, and it is exactly the detail mental arithmetic gets wrong at 4 a.m.
The conversion is done properly: the iftar moment in the first city is turned into an exact instant using that city's time zone offset on that date, then read back on the second city's clock. No fixed 'plus five hours' shortcuts that quietly break when a country crosses a daylight-saving boundary mid-Ramadan.
Because iftar is sunset, it sweeps around the planet from east to west. When families in Jakarta are breaking their fast, Karachi is still an hour and more away from its own Maghrib, London further still, and New York is barely past its sehri. The converter makes that wave visible: set your home city as city B and a relative's city as city A, and you can see whether your call will catch them before, during or long after their meal.
It also works in reverse for sehri coordination. A wake-up call chain across time zones — the student in Toronto woken by a parent in Lahore — only works if someone converts correctly, and this page does it with today's actual times rather than a remembered offset.
Pick two cities far enough apart and iftar in the first can fall on a different calendar day in the second. An evening iftar in Sydney can be the small hours of the same morning in Los Angeles — technically the previous date there by breakfast. Video-call etiquette aside, this matters for practical coordination: charity iftars run jointly across countries, live-streamed taraweeh, and businesses scheduling around fasting staff in two offices.
The converter states the day relationship explicitly in its result sentence, derived from the converted instant itself, so there is no off-by-one ambiguity to resolve by hand.
It converts times between two cities for today's Ramadan schedule and live clocks; it is not a general meeting planner and it does not convert arbitrary dates you type in. Ramadan focus is deliberate: the Sehri and Iftar figures beside each clock are the day's real stored timetable values, so the answer you get is grounded in the actual calendar your family is fasting by, not a generic prayer-time estimate.
Offsets are taken from the IANA time zone database as implemented by your browser, which is the same source your phone's world clock uses — the two should always agree.
It takes today's Maghrib in the first city, converts that local moment into an absolute instant using the city's time zone offset for that date, then formats the same instant in the second city's time zone — including whether it falls on the same, previous or next calendar day there.
Because remembered differences go stale. Countries start and end daylight saving on different dates, and a few change their rules entirely; the offset on the actual date of iftar is the only safe one, and that is what the converter uses.
Each city panel shows today's Sehri (Fajr) and Iftar side by side with its live clock, so you can compare both ends of the fast. The headline conversion sentence is built around iftar, the moment families most often coordinate around.
Any of the 144 cities in the Ramadan calendar — from Makkah, Dubai and Karachi to London, New York and Sydney's region — each with its own stored timetable and correct IANA time zone.
Both clocks are drawn from your device's own time; a difference of a second or two is refresh timing, not a different time zone. If minutes differ, check that your device time is set automatically.
