About Kayseri

Historically known as Caesarea, it has been a regional centre of Cappadocia since ancient times and today sits at roughly 1,050 metres above sea level on the high Anatolian plateau.

Kayseri is one of the principal cities of Central Anatolia and the administrative capital of Kayseri Province. Historically known as Caesarea, it has served as a centre of the Cappadocia region since ancient times, giving the modern city a deep historical layering beneath its present role as an industrial and commercial hub. With a population of around 1.39 million, it is among the larger cities of the Anatolian interior.
The Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality is made up of five districts: the two central districts of Kocasinan and Melikgazi, together with the outlying districts of Hacilar, Incesu, and Talas, which were added in 2004. Set at roughly 1,050 metres above sea level on the high Anatolian plateau, the city experiences the pronounced seasonal contrasts typical of inland Turkey, which in turn shape the rhythm of the daily prayer schedule.
Prayer Times in Kayseri
Kayseri observes Turkey Time (UTC+3) year-round with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At about 38.7 degrees north, the city sees a clear seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha well into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page follow the Turkey Diyanet (Presidency of Religious Affairs) method used across the country.
Ramadan in Kayseri
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Kayseri runs from Fajr (the start of dawn) to Maghrib (sunset), so the suhoor and iftar times follow the same Turkey Diyanet calculations shown on this page. As the Islamic calendar shifts about eleven days earlier each year relative to the seasons, the length of the fasting day in Kayseri depends on when Ramadan falls.
When Ramadan occurs in summer, the city's long daylight hours make for an extended fast with a late iftar, while a winter Ramadan brings noticeably shorter fasting days and an earlier sunset. Checking the current Fajr and Maghrib times each day is the simplest way to plan suhoor and iftar accurately throughout the month.
