Prayer times in Morocco today

Prayer times in Morocco: how the official timetable works

Prayer times in Morocco are set city by city by the Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs. This page gathers the timetable of 190 cities and towns from the ministry's list: pick yours to see today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, a countdown to the next adhan and the times for the next 30 days.

Find your city in seconds

Type the first letters of your city in the search box at the top. It accepts Arabic, French and English spellings and ignores accents and hamza, so "fes", "Fès" and "فاس" all lead to the same page. The most searched cities come first; the full alphabetical list below covers every town the ministry publishes, from the Rif to the Saharan provinces.

Each city has its own address, such as prayer times in Casablanca or prayer times in Nador, so you can bookmark it or add it to your phone's home screen and open it in one tap every day.

Official Habous times, explained

The ministry publishes one timetable per town, and mosques call the adhan by it. The calculation follows the sun: Fajr when the sun is 19 degrees below the horizon before dawn, Isha when it is 17 degrees below the horizon after sunset, the angles listed for the Moroccan method in prayer time references (AlAdhan). The published times also add a few minutes of precaution to some prayers.

Each city page shows a calculation with the same method the moment it opens, then replaces it with the ministry's official figures for that town as soon as they load. The line under the date tells you which of the two you are reading.

The five prayers and sunrise

• Fajr: the dawn prayer, from first light until sunrise.
• Sunrise (Shuruq): not a prayer; it ends the time of Fajr.
• Dhuhr: just after the sun passes its highest point; on Friday, the Jumu'a prayer takes its place.
• Asr: the afternoon prayer, as shadows lengthen.
• Maghrib: at sunset, the time of iftar in Ramadan.
• Isha: the night prayer, once the evening twilight has faded.

From Oujda to Dakhla: why times differ

Morocco spans more than 15 degrees of longitude, and the sun needs four minutes to cross each one. On the same day, Dhuhr in Dakhla comes close to an hour after Oujda, while Rabat and Casablanca, almost on the same meridian, stay within a few minutes of each other. The table gives the calculated times for ten cities, from east to south, on 12 October 2026.

Seasons move every time as well: in Rabat, dawn comes about two and a half hours earlier in late June than in late December. A timetable is only valid for its own day, which is why each city page keeps a 30-day table.

Ramadan, Eid and the Hijri month

In Ramadan, the Fajr column marks the start of the fast and the Maghrib column the time of iftar. Once the ministry's data has loaded, each city page also shows the current Hijri month next to its monthly timetable. Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are confirmed by the ministry after the moon sighting, and the public holidays calendar gives the expected days off for 2026 and 2027.

Good to know

Times are in Morocco's legal time. A mosque near you may call the adhan a minute or two apart from the official timetable, depending on local practice. To plan family trips around the school year, see the school holidays calendar.
