Bobo-Dioulasso is the second-largest city in Burkina Faso, ranking behind only the national capital, Ouagadougou. It serves as a major urban centre in the southwest of the country and is the principal city of Houet Province, with a population of roughly 900,000 residents.
The city's name is often translated as "home of the Bobo-Dioula," reflecting the communities historically associated with the area. Sitting at an elevation of around 445 metres, Bobo-Dioulasso is home to a substantial Muslim population, for whom the daily prayer schedule is part of everyday life.
Prayer Times in Bobo-Dioulasso
Bobo-Dioulasso keeps Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) year-round with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At roughly 11°N, close to the tropics, the city sees only modest seasonal variation in day length: summer days run a little longer and push Isha somewhat later, while winter days are slightly shorter and bring Maghrib a touch earlier, but the swing through the year is small. Times here are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
Ramadan in Bobo-Dioulasso
During Ramadan in Bobo-Dioulasso, the daily fast begins at Fajr (dawn) and ends at Maghrib (sunset). Because the city lies at about 11°N and stays on Greenwich Mean Time year-round with no daylight saving, the length of the fasting day stays relatively steady from one year's Ramadan to the next when it falls in the same season, with only modest variation in the dawn and sunset times.
As Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year through the Gregorian calendar, the season in which it falls gradually shifts. Even so, the city's near-tropical latitude keeps day length fairly even compared with places far from the equator, so suhoor before Fajr and iftar at Maghrib follow a consistent rhythm. Checking the daily Fajr and Maghrib times on this page is the simplest way to plan suhoor and iftar accurately.
