About Mogadishu
Mogadishu, known locally as Xamar, is the capital and most populous city of Somalia and the administrative centre of the Banaadir region, with a population of around 2.1 million.

Mogadishu, locally called Xamar or Hamar, is the capital and largest city of Somalia, situated on the country's Indian Ocean coast at a low elevation of about 9 metres. It is the seat of the Banaadir region and the nation's principal urban centre, with a city population of roughly 2.1 million and a wider urban area estimated at over 4.1 million people.
The city has long been one of the most important ports on the East African seaboard, connecting traders across the Indian Ocean for many centuries. Today it remains the political, commercial, and cultural heart of Somalia, and its predominantly Muslim population shapes the daily rhythm of life around the five daily prayers.
Prayer Times in Mogadishu
Mogadishu keeps East Africa Time (UTC+3) all year with no daylight saving, so the prayer schedule shifts only gradually with the seasons. Sitting almost on the equator at about 2 degrees north, the city sees very little seasonal change in day length: sunrise and sunset stay close to the same times throughout the year, so Fajr, Maghrib, and the other prayers move only slightly between summer and winter. Times shown here are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
Ramadan in Mogadishu
During Ramadan, Mogadishu's near-equatorial location means the fasting day stays close to a consistent length from one year to the next, regardless of which season Ramadan falls in. Because day and night remain roughly balanced year-round, the gap between the pre-dawn suhoor at Fajr and the breaking of the fast at Maghrib does not swing dramatically as it does in cities at higher latitudes.
