About Tangier
Tangier sits at Morocco's northwestern tip, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea across the Strait of Gibraltar. Home to roughly 948,000 residents, it serves as the capital of both the Tangier-Assilah Prefecture and the wider Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. For the Muslim community here, observing the five daily prayers is part of everyday life, and the timetable on this page is calculated specifically for Tangier's coordinates so the times reflect the city's own sunrise, midday and sunset rather than a distant reference point.
Tangier is a port city in northwestern Morocco, set on a bay where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean converge at the Strait of Gibraltar, with the Iberian Peninsula visible across the water on clear days. It is the capital of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region and the administrative seat of the Tangier-Assilah Prefecture, sitting at a modest elevation of around 80 metres above sea level.
With a population of close to 948,000, Tangier is one of Morocco's major urban centres and a key gateway between Africa and Europe. As in cities across Morocco, Islam shapes the rhythm of daily life, and the call to prayer marks the passage of the day. The accurate, location-specific timetable on this page is intended to help residents and visitors keep their prayers on time wherever they are in the city.
Prayer times in Tangier
Prayer times on this page are calculated for Tangier's geographic position in far northern Morocco (latitude about 35.8 degrees N) using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, a widely used standard across North Africa for determining the Fajr and Isha twilight angles. The city keeps a single time zone year-round (Africa/Casablanca) with no seasonal daylight-saving shift applied in this schedule, so the day-to-day movement you see in the timetable follows the natural lengthening and shortening of daylight. Because Tangier lies well north of the equator, summer brings noticeably long days, with early Fajr and late Maghrib, while winter days are markedly shorter, drawing the prayer times closer together. The qibla, the direction Muslims face for prayer, points toward the Kaaba in Mecca at a bearing of roughly 97 degrees from Tangier, just south of due east.
Ramadan in Tangier
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims in Tangier fast from dawn until sunset, which makes the Fajr and Maghrib times especially important: the pre-dawn suhoor meal must finish by the start of Fajr, and the fast is broken at Maghrib. The daily timetable on this page provides both of these times for Tangier, so you can plan suhoor and iftar around the city's own dawn and sunset.
Because the Islamic calendar follows the lunar year, Ramadan shifts roughly eleven days earlier each year relative to the seasons. The length of the fasting day in Tangier therefore depends on when Ramadan falls: when it lands in the long days of summer the fast runs longer, while a winter Ramadan brings shorter fasting hours. Checking the current day's times here is the simplest way to know exactly when each fast begins and ends.
