Tunis is the capital and largest city of Tunisia and the administrative centre of the Tunis Governorate. The city proper has a population of around 639,000, while the wider metropolitan area, often called "Grand Tunis," counts roughly 2.7 million inhabitants, making it one of the largest urban centres in North Africa.
Lying at a very low elevation of about 4 metres near the Mediterranean coast, Tunis is the third-largest city in the Maghreb region and, as of 2020, the eleventh-largest in the Arab world. As the political, economic, and cultural hub of Tunisia, it serves a large resident Muslim population for whom daily prayer times are part of the rhythm of the city.
Prayer Times in Tunis
Tunis observes Central European Time (UTC+1) year-round and does not change clocks for daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with any clock adjustment. At roughly 37 degrees north the city has a clear seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha later into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method.
Ramadan in Tunis
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Tunis runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so these two times frame the start of the fast (suhoor ends at Fajr) and the breaking of the fast (iftar at Maghrib) each day. Because the city does not observe daylight saving, the timing of the fast follows the natural length of the day for whichever season Ramadan falls in.
When Ramadan occurs in the summer months, the long days at this latitude mean a longer daily fast, with an early Fajr and a late Maghrib; when it falls in winter, shorter days make for a shorter fasting window. Many in Tunis also attend Tarawih prayers after Isha, so the Isha time on this page is a useful guide for evening worship throughout the month.
Prayer Time Questions for Tunis
What method is used to calculate prayer times in Tunis?
Prayer times for Tunis on this page use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey calculation method, which sets the solar angles used for Fajr and Isha.
Does Tunis change its clocks for daylight saving time?
No. Tunis stays on Central European Time (UTC+1) throughout the year with no daylight saving change, so the daily prayer times move only with the natural shift of the seasons.
Which direction is the Qibla from Tunis?
The Qibla from Tunis is approximately 113 degrees, pointing east-southeast toward the Kaaba in Mecca.
How much do prayer times in Tunis change through the year?
Because Tunis sits at about 37 degrees north, there is a noticeable seasonal change. In summer the days are long, so Fajr comes early and Isha falls late in the evening; in winter the days are short, so Maghrib arrives in the late afternoon and the prayers sit closer together.
What time zone does Tunis use for prayer times?
Tunis uses the Africa/Tunis time zone, which is Central European Time (UTC+1) all year.
Why might the prayer times here differ slightly from my local mosque in Tunis?
Small differences are normal. Individual mosques may follow a slightly different calculation method or apply their own adjustment for Fajr and Isha angles or for the call to prayer, so checking with your local mosque is always recommended for congregational timing.
