Prayer Times in Gaziantep
Gaziantep follows Turkey time (UTC+3) all year, with no daylight saving changes, so prayer times shift gradually with the seasons rather than jumping by an hour in spring or autumn. At about 37 degrees north the seasonal swing is moderate: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha later into the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and the daylight prayers closer together. Times shown here are calculated using the Turkey Diyanet (Presidency of Religious Affairs) method, the standard used across Turkey.
Ramadan in Gaziantep
During Ramadan in Gaziantep, the daily fast runs from Fajr (the start of dawn) to Maghrib (sunset), so the suhoor and iftar times follow the same daily prayer schedule shown on this page. Because Gaziantep keeps Turkey time year-round with no daylight saving shift, the timing moves only with the season in which Ramadan falls.
When Ramadan occurs in summer the fasting day is longer, with an early pre-dawn suhoor and a late iftar, while a winter Ramadan brings a shorter fast with iftar in the late afternoon. For precise suhoor (Fajr) and iftar (Maghrib) times each day of Ramadan, refer to the live prayer-time table at the top of the page.
