MWL Method
Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in El Fasher is based on the astronomical sunset at 13.6°N, 25.4°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 El Fasher lasts 11h 58m, which is approximately 20 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are remaining stable, as equatorial regions have consistent day length.
At 13.6°N and 746m elevation in the Khartoum timezone, El Fasher is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 1 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 2.6 minutes to sunset timing.
By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 15 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Nyala at 12.1°N, this results in about 6 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in El Fasher.
El Fasher's sunset is approximately 19 minutes later than El Obeid, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
El Fasher's sunset is approximately 29 minutes later than Kusti, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
El Fasher's sunset is approximately 28 minutes later than Omdurman, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In El Fasher, sunset remains virtually unchanged. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 0m at the exact same time as yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 1 minute longer than today in El Fasher, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 13.6° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of El Fasher's equatorial 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 746m above sea level, El Fasher'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 El Fasher's exact location (13.63°N, 25.35°E), timezone (Africa/Khartoum), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in El Fasher today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for El Fasher's exact location (13.63°N, 25.35°E) at 746m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.
Sehri end time in El Fasher 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 El Fasher's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
Being near the equator at 13.6°, El Fasher experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in El Fasher vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for El Fasher's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Nyala, El Fasher has sunset 2 minutes later than Nyala due to its more easterly position, and 85m higher elevation creates a slightly later sunset, and being further north means it has longer fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. El Fasher is at latitude 13.63°, while Nyala is at latitude 12.05°. 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 El Fasher. 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.
