About Giza
Giza sits on the west bank of the Nile directly opposite central Cairo, forming part of the Greater Cairo metropolis and serving as the capital of the Giza Governorate. With a city population of about 3.02 million, it is one of the largest cities in Egypt by both area and population. This page lists today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the city's Muslim community.
Giza is one of Egypt's largest cities by area and population and the capital of the Giza Governorate, which had a total population of about 4.46 million as of 2023. The city proper is home to roughly 3.02 million people. It lies on the west bank of the Nile at an elevation of around 30 metres, directly opposite central Cairo, and together with the capital it forms part of the sprawling Greater Cairo metropolitan area.
Giza sits less than 30 kilometres north of Memphis, the capital of the unified Egyptian state during the reign of the pharaoh Narmer around 3100 BC, placing it within one of the oldest continuously significant regions in the world. Today it is best known internationally for the Giza pyramid complex on its western desert edge. As a major part of Greater Cairo, the city supports a large Muslim population, with mosques serving neighbourhoods across its districts.
Prayer Times in Giza
Giza observes Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and shifts to daylight saving time in the warmer months, so the clock times shown on this page reflect that seasonal change. At roughly 30 degrees north, the city sees a clear but moderate seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha later into the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times here are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, the standard used across Egypt.
Ramadan in Giza
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Giza runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so the start and end of the fast follow the same calculated times shown on this page. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, Ramadan moves through the seasons over the years, meaning the length of the fasting day depends on when the month falls.
When Ramadan falls in summer, Giza's long daylight hours make for a longer fast, with an early pre-dawn suhoor and a later iftar at Maghrib. When it falls in winter, the shorter days bring an earlier iftar and a shorter fasting window. As part of Greater Cairo, the city's mosques and neighbourhoods take on the heightened evening activity typical of Ramadan, including congregational Taraweeh prayers after Isha.
