Ramadan timetable 2027 in Aleppo: calculated times
In Aleppo, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of a set of times calculated for each day of fasting: imsak before dawn, fajr, sunrise, iftar at maghrib and isha. On the first day imsak is set at 05:50 and iftar at 18:05, a fast of 12 h 15.
Aleppo should observe the first fast of Ramadan 2027 on Monday 8 February, with imsak at 05:50 and iftar at 18:05. That day lasts 12 h 15, and the month's fast grows by a full hour to 13 h 15.

An hour added in northern Syria
Aleppo lies at about 36.2 degrees north, three degrees further north than Damascus. In late winter, daylight grows faster at this latitude, so the fast lengthens by sixty minutes over the month, compared with fifty-three in the capital.
The fifteenth day, Monday 22 February, shows imsak at 05:36 and maghrib at 18:19, for 12 h 43. On Monday 8 March, imsak falls at 05:18 and iftar at 18:32, giving the month's longest listed fast of 13 h 15.
Earlier than Damascus, later than the coast?
On day 1, Aleppo's iftar at 18:05 comes seven minutes before Damascus at 18:12, mainly because its northern latitude gives an earlier winter sunset. Aleppo is also slightly further east, which brings its sunset forward a little more.
The morning sequence
Imsak at 05:50 precedes fajr at 06:00 by ten minutes, and sunrise follows at 07:27. On the clock, Aleppo's mornings are late because Syria's UTC+3 time zone is set for a meridian far to the east of the city.
Calculation angles
The table applies the Muslim World League standard of 18 degrees for fajr and 17 for isha. Local calendars in Aleppo may follow different parameters, and residents generally rely on the call to prayer from their neighbourhood mosque for exact timings.
Expected dates of Ramadan 1448
The start of the month is announced by the Syrian religious authorities after the crescent is observed. A sighting on Sunday 7 February 2027 would mean tarawih that evening and a first fast on Monday 8 February; without it, fasting begins Tuesday.
Most forecasts expect the 27th night on Friday 5 March 2027, after sunset. Eid al-Fitr is projected for Tuesday 9 March, or Wednesday 10 March if Ramadan lasts thirty days, subject to the official announcement.
Aleppo's Ramadan heritage
Aleppo's old city, dominated by its medieval citadel and home to the Great Mosque, has long been a centre of religious life. Much of the historic centre was damaged during the war, and restoration has gradually allowed markets and mosques to reopen.
Aleppo is renowned for its cuisine, and Ramadan tables often include several kinds of kibbeh, kebabs with cherries or aubergine, and dishes seasoned with the local red pepper. Sweets such as halawet el-jibn and qatayef are popular after iftar.
Coping with Aleppo's cold evenings
Winter in Aleppo, on its inland plateau, can be cold, with frosty nights and occasional snow, while March brings spring weather. Fasting residents, students and families who have returned to the city may benefit from these simple habits:
- Have a warm soup at iftar
- Drink water steadily until 05:50
- Dress warmly for isha at 19:27
- Check times with your local mosque
Is the fast shorter in Aleppo than in Damascus?
At the start, yes: 12 h 15 in Aleppo against 12 h 21 in Damascus. On the 29th day the two are almost level, 13 h 15 in Aleppo and 13 h 14 in Damascus, because Aleppo's days lengthen faster.
Which morning brings Aleppo's final suhoor?
If Ramadan lasts twenty-nine days, the final suhoor is on Monday 8 March, with imsak at 05:18. A thirtieth fast, if needed, would begin a minute or two earlier on Tuesday 9 March, with iftar slightly later, the day before Eid.
What time does tarawih start on day 29?
On Monday 8 March, isha in Aleppo is at 19:53, twenty-six minutes later than on the first night. Tarawih therefore starts close to eight o'clock in the evening during the final days of the month.
