How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Safi is based on the astronomical sunset at 32.3°N, 9.2°W. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.

Sunset Calculation: Times are generated using precise astronomical calculations based on Safi's latitude, longitude, elevation, and timezone.
Optional Buffers: Communities can apply +3, +5, or +15 minute safety margins if desired, though these are for personal or local preference rather than necessity.

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 Safi

Latitude

At 32.3°N and 48m elevation in the Casablanca timezone, Safi 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 0.2 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 El Jadid at 33.2°N, this results in about 4 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Safi.

Why Iftar Times Differ Between Cities

Daily Sunset Progression In Safi

In Safi, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Safi, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 32.3° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Safi's subtropical latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.

How Iftar Times Work

Atmospheric Refraction

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.

Safi's Elevation

At 48m above sea level, Safi'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.

Astronomical Calculations

Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Safi's exact location (32.28°N, 9.23°W), timezone (Africa/Casablanca), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Safi today?

Iftar in Safi today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Safi's exact location (32.28°N, 9.23°W) at 48m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is standard across North Africa.

When does Sehri end in Safi?

Sehri end time in Safi 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 Safi's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.

How long is the fast in Safi during Ramadan 2026?

At 32.3°N, Safi experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Safi vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Safi's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Safi differ from El Jadid?

Compared to El Jadid, Safi has sunset 3 minutes earlier than El Jadid due to its more westerly position, and being further south means it has shorter fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Safi is at latitude 32.28°, while El Jadid is at latitude 33.23°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Safi?

The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Safi. 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.
