About Rabat
Rabat is the capital of Morocco, set on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river, opposite its commuter town of Salé. With a population of around 573,000, it is the country's seventh-largest city and the heart of the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region. This page provides today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the city's Muslim community.
Rabat is the capital city of Morocco, located on the northwestern coast where the Bou Regreg river meets the Atlantic Ocean. It faces Salé, its main commuter town, across the river, and together they anchor the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra administrative region. With a city population of around 573,000, Rabat is the country's seventh-largest city, while its surrounding metropolitan area is the second largest in Morocco after Casablanca.
As the seat of national government, Rabat is a centre of administration and culture on Morocco's Atlantic seaboard. Its coastal setting and position at the mouth of the Bou Regreg shape daily life in the city, and for its Muslim residents the rhythm of the five daily prayers is woven through the working day, from the pre-dawn Fajr to Isha after nightfall.
Prayer Times in Rabat
Rabat observes time across the Africa/Casablanca zone, and the times shown here track the daily movement of the sun over the city. At roughly 34 degrees north, the seasonal swing is moderate: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later into the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon. Times on this page are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method. Always refer to the live daily grid for exact minute-by-minute timings rather than fixed clock times.
Ramadan in Rabat
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Rabat begins at Fajr, before first light, and ends at Maghrib, the sunset prayer. Because the fast follows the sun, the length of the fasting day depends on the time of year that Ramadan falls. When it lands in summer, the longer Atlantic-coast days make for a longer fast; when it falls in winter, the shorter days bring an earlier Maghrib and a shorter fasting period.
Use the Suhoor (pre-dawn) and Iftar (sunset) times on this page to plan your meals through the month, and confirm the start and end of Ramadan with local mosque announcements, since the month is determined by the sighting of the new moon. The Taraweeh prayers that follow Isha are observed in mosques across the city's neighbourhoods through the nights of Ramadan.
