Ramadan timetable 2027 in Adana: calculated times
In Adana, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of a daily schedule of imsak and iftar, that is, the time the fast begins before dawn and the time it ends at sunset. Between 8 February and 8 March, iftar moves from 18:11 to 18:39.
Adana's Muslims are expected to start Ramadan 2027 on Monday 8 February, finishing sahur at 05:57 and breaking the fast at 18:11. The first fast, 12 h 14 min, is the longest opening fast among the Turkish cities listed here.

Southern latitude, earlier dawn
Adana lies on the Çukurova plain near 37 degrees north, the southernmost of the Turkish cities on this site. Its slightly longer winter days explain why the opening fast lasts a few minutes more than in Istanbul or Ankara.
The plain's mild, Mediterranean-influenced climate contrasts with the cold Anatolian plateau to the north. In February, oranges and other citrus fruits from the surrounding orchards are in season and often appear on iftar tables across the city.
The three reference days
On day 1 the table above shows imsak at 05:57, fajr at 06:07, sunrise at 07:35, iftar at 18:11 and isha at 19:34. Imsak precedes fajr by ten minutes, a margin meant to protect the validity of the fast.
On 22 February sahur ends at 05:43 and iftar is at 18:26, a fast of 12 h 43 min. On the 29th day, 8 March, the times are 05:24 and 18:39, for a total of 13 h 15 min.
Smaller change than in the north
The fast grows by sixty-one minutes over the month, less than in Istanbul, where it gains seventy-one. Lower latitudes see gentler seasonal swings, so Adana's schedule changes a little more slowly from one week to the next.
Calculation conventions
These times use the Muslim World League standard, with fajr at 18 degrees and isha at 17. The Diyanet imsakiye used by Adana's mosques relies on Turkey's official parameters, so a difference of a few minutes from this page is to be expected.
Kadir Gecesi and Bayram in 2027
Under the calendar published by Diyanet, Ramadan should start on Monday 8 February 2027, with the night of Sunday 7 February bringing the first tarawih. Kadir Gecesi is expected on Friday 5 March, when Adana's large mosques fill to capacity.
Ramazan Bayramı is expected to begin on Tuesday 9 March, or on Wednesday 10 March if the month is completed with thirty days. Families in Adana traditionally visit elders and the graves of relatives on the first morning of the holiday.
Sabancı Mosque and the Seyhan riverside
The Sabancı Central Mosque, one of the largest in Turkey, stands on the banks of the Seyhan River and draws large crowds for tarawih. After prayers, families stroll along the riverside parks, where the mild climate allows evening walks even in February.
Local food and practical tips
Adana is synonymous with its spicy minced-meat kebab, grilled on wide skewers and served with flatbread, onions and sumac. Many locals accompany iftar with şalgam, the tangy fermented turnip-and-carrot drink, and finish with künefe or other syrupy desserts.
- Drink plenty of water at sahur, not only şalgam or tea.
- Book kebab houses early; they fill quickly before 18:11.
- Enjoy the mild evenings but carry a light jacket.
- Follow your mosque's imsakiye for daily sahur times.
Is iftar earlier in Adana than in Istanbul?
Yes, by eighteen minutes on the first day: 18:11 in Adana against 18:29 in Istanbul. Only Gaziantep, further east, breaks its fast earlier among the Turkish cities here, at 18:03 on Monday 8 February 2027.
Will the fast be hard in Adana's climate?
Not usually in February and March. Unlike Adana's famously hot summers, late winter brings mild days often in the mid-teens Celsius, so thirst is less of an issue. Rain showers are possible, but fasting in this season is comparatively gentle.
How long is the fast on the last day in Adana?
On Monday 8 March 2027, the 29th day, Adana fasts from 05:24 to 18:39, or 13 h 15 min. Isha that evening is at 20:00, twenty-six minutes later than on the first day of the month.
