MWL Method
Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in Amman is based on the astronomical sunset at 31.9°N, 35.9°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.
Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.
Today's fast in Amman lasts 11h 45m, which is approximately 60 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are changing moderately as the season progresses.
At 31.9°N and 804m elevation in the Amman timezone, Amman is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 3 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 2.8 minutes to sunset timing.
By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 45 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Al Juwayyidah at 31.9°N, this results in about 0 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Amman.
Amman's sunset is approximately 1 minute later than Az Zarqa', primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Amman's sunset is approximately 1 minute earlier than Ajlun, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Amman's sunset is approximately 1 minute later than Al Mafraq, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Amman, sunset remains virtually unchanged. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 0m at the exact same time as yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Amman, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 31.9° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Amman's subtropical latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.
Earth's atmosphere bends light, causing the sun to appear slightly higher on the horizon than its actual position. This atmospheric refraction effect is already accounted for in our calculations, giving you the precise moment when the sun appears to cross below the horizon.
At 804m above sea level, Amman's elevation affects when sunset occurs. Higher elevations see the sunset slightly later than lower areas. This elevation adjustment is included in all our calculations.
Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Amman's exact location (31.95°N, 35.93°E), timezone (Asia/Amman), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Amman today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Amman's exact location (31.95°N, 35.93°E) at 804m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.
Sehri end time in Amman marks when the fast begins in the morning. During Ramadan, this time shifts daily as sunrise moves earlier or later. The time shown on this page is calculated for Amman's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 31.9°N, Amman experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Amman vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Amman's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Al Juwayyidah, Amman has sunset 131m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier sunset. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Amman is at latitude 31.95°, while Al Juwayyidah is at latitude 31.92°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Amman. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: MWL 18°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°. Check with your mosque to confirm which they recommend, then use that method from the options available above.
