About Quetta
Quetta is the capital and largest city of Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province by area, set in the Quetta Valley and ringed by mountains on every side. Sitting at roughly 1,680 metres above sea level, it is Pakistan's highest-altitude major city, and its orchards have long earned it the nickname the "Fruit Garden of Pakistan." This page lists today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the city's Muslim community.
Quetta is the capital and largest city of Balochistan, in the south-west of Pakistan, with a population in the region of 1.14 million. The city developed in the Quetta Valley, a region historically inhabited by Pashtun tribes such as the Kasi, and it has long sat within the broader cultural and tribal sphere linking southern Afghanistan with northern Balochistan. Lying in a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, it serves as the administrative and commercial centre of the province.
At an average elevation of about 1,680 metres, Quetta is the highest-altitude major city in Pakistan, which gives it cooler summers and cold, sometimes snowy winters compared with much of the country. The surrounding region is known for its fruit orchards and its fresh and dried fruit, earning Quetta the nickname the "Fruit Garden of Pakistan." For residents and visitors alike, accurate daily prayer times are part of the rhythm of life across the city's neighbourhoods.
Prayer Times in Quetta
Quetta observes Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) all year, with no daylight saving, so the daily prayer schedule shifts only with the seasons rather than with any clock change. At about 30 degrees north there is a clear seasonal swing: long summer days bring an early Fajr and a late Isha, while short winter days pull Maghrib into the late afternoon. The city's high-elevation valley setting, enclosed by mountains, can make the visible horizon slightly later at sunrise and sunset, so always rely on the live times above. Calculations on this page use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, the standard widely followed across Pakistan.
Ramadan in Quetta
During Ramadan in Quetta, the daily fast runs from Suhoor, ending at Fajr, to Iftar at Maghrib, so the city's prayer schedule sets the daily rhythm of the month. Because Quetta keeps Pakistan Standard Time year-round with no daylight saving, the length of the fasting day depends on where Ramadan falls in the seasons rather than on any clock change.
When Ramadan falls in summer, the long days at this latitude make for an early Suhoor and a later Iftar, while a winter Ramadan brings shorter fasting hours with Maghrib arriving in the late afternoon. Quetta's high-altitude climate also means cool evenings even in the warmer months. For the exact start of the fast and the moment of Iftar each day, follow the live Fajr and Maghrib times listed above.
