About Port Sudan
Port Sudan is the capital of Red Sea State and the principal seaport of Sudan, sitting on the country's eastern coast along the Red Sea. As Sudan's main maritime gateway, it handles the large majority of the nation's international trade, making it a central hub for commerce in eastern Sudan. The city has a population of roughly 580,000. This page lists today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the local Muslim community.
Port Sudan lies on the Red Sea coast of eastern Sudan and serves as the capital of Red Sea State. Built as the country's chief seaport, it is the point through which the overwhelming majority of Sudan's international trade passes, anchoring the economy of the wider region. Its coastal, near-sea-level setting at an elevation of about 13 metres places it directly on one of the world's busiest shipping corridors.
Recorded at around 394,561 residents in the 2008 national census, the city has continued to grow into a metropolitan population estimated near 580,000. As a working port city, Port Sudan draws people from across Sudan, and mosques throughout its neighbourhoods serve daily congregational prayers and the Friday Jummah for this diverse community.
Prayer Times in Port Sudan
Port Sudan observes Central Africa Time (UTC+2) year-round with no daylight saving, so the daily prayer schedule shifts only with the seasons rather than with clock changes. At about 20 degrees north, the city sits at a fairly low latitude, so the gap between the longest summer days and shortest winter days is modest: summer brings somewhat earlier Fajr and later Isha, while winter draws Maghrib a little earlier in the afternoon. Times on this page are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, widely used across Sudan and the region.
Ramadan in Port Sudan
During Ramadan in Port Sudan, the daily fast runs from Fajr to Maghrib, and because the city does not change its clocks for daylight saving, the Suhoor and Iftar times move only gradually as the lunar month progresses through the seasons. At its low latitude near 20 degrees north, the length of the fasting day stays relatively moderate compared with cities much farther north, where summer fasts can be far longer.
As Ramadan falls earlier each year on the solar calendar, the timing of Suhoor and Iftar drifts accordingly. Worshippers should check the daily Fajr and Maghrib times on this page throughout the month, since these mark the start and end of each day's fast. Mosques across the city hold Taraweeh prayers in the evenings during Ramadan.
