Ramadan timetable 2027 in Bursa: calculated times
In Bursa, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of two markers, imsak in the morning and iftar in the evening, which frame each day of fasting. In the middle of the month, on 22 February, they are expected at 06:08 and 18:47.
On the expected first day of Ramadan 2027, Monday 8 February, Bursa's fast runs from imsak at 06:24 to iftar at 18:30, a total of 12 h 07 min. Snow on the slopes of Uludağ often frames the evening view.

Times beneath Uludağ
Bursa stretches along the northern slopes of Uludağ, close to the Sea of Marmara, at about 40 degrees north. On the first day, fajr is at 06:34, sunrise at 08:06 and isha at 19:57, according to the table above.
In February the mountain is usually covered in snow and the city below is cold and damp, with frequent rain. Warm soups at iftar and a hot drink before tarawih help residents cope with chilly evenings in the old districts.
One minute from Istanbul
Bursa and Istanbul lie at almost the same longitude, so their schedules are nearly identical. Bursa's day-1 iftar is at 18:30, one minute after Istanbul, while its more southerly position gives it a fast two minutes longer.
Fifteenth and twenty-ninth days
On 22 February the fast lasts 12 h 39 min, from 06:08 to 18:47. On 8 March, the 29th day, it lasts 13 h 16 min, from 05:47 to 19:03, sixty-nine minutes longer than on the first day.
Isha moves from 19:57 to 20:28 over the month, so tarawih ends later each week. Families with children at school often adjust bedtimes in the last ten days, when both the night prayers and sahur bring shorter nights.
About these calculations
The figures follow the Muslim World League rule of 18 degrees for fajr and 17 degrees for isha. Bursa's mosques use the Diyanet imsakiye, calculated with Turkey's official method, so differences of a few minutes are possible and normal.
Bursa's Ramadan traditions
Bursa, the first Ottoman capital, keeps a strong Ramadan atmosphere around the Ulu Cami, the Grand Mosque with its twenty domes. Shoppers fill the historic covered bazaar and the silk market of Koza Han in the hours before iftar.
The city is famous for İskender kebab, thin slices of döner served over pide with tomato sauce, butter and yoghurt, often eaten at iftar. Candied chestnuts, another Bursa speciality, are a favourite gift for Bayram visits.
Calendar for 2027
Diyanet's calendar places the first day of Ramadan on Monday 8 February 2027, with tarawih starting on Sunday evening. Kadir Gecesi is expected on Friday 5 March, and Ramazan Bayramı on Tuesday 9 March, or a day later after thirty days.
On the eve of Bayram, known as arife, markets and pastry shops in Bursa stay busy late into the evening. Families prepare candied chestnuts, baklava and Turkish delight for the visits that begin after the morning Bayram prayer.
Advice for the month
Workers in Bursa's industrial zones often face long commutes; carrying a small iftar of dates and water helps if traffic delays the return home. Eating a balanced sahur with eggs, cheese and bread keeps energy steady through the morning shift.
- Buy Ramadan pide early; queues build from 17:30.
- Allow for snow or rain on February evenings.
- Reserve kebab restaurants for iftar in advance.
- Check the Diyanet imsakiye posted at your local mosque.
Is Bursa's fast longer than Ankara's?
On day 1 both cities fast 12 h 07 min, but Bursa's iftar comes fourteen minutes later, at 18:30 instead of 18:16. By the 29th day, Bursa fasts 13 h 16 min and Ankara 13 h 15 min.
When does tarawih start on the first night?
The first tarawih is expected on Sunday 7 February 2027, after the isha prayer. Isha that evening will be very close to the day-1 figure of 19:57 shown above, but your mosque will announce the exact hour.
How early is sahur on the last morning?
On Monday 8 March 2027, imsak in Bursa is at 05:47, thirty-seven minutes earlier than on the first day. Sunrise follows at 07:27, so the time between the dawn prayer and the start of work remains comfortable.
