Ramadan timetable 2027 in Dushanbe: calculated times
In Dushanbe, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of the imsak time, the limit for the last meal before dawn, and the iftar time, the moment the fast is broken at sunset. The fast lasts 12 h 10 on the first day and 13 h 15 on the twenty-ninth.
Dushanbe expects Ramadan 2027 to begin on Monday 8 February; suhoor must end by 05:44 and iftar comes at 17:54. The first fast lasts 12 h 10, and by the 29th day it reaches 13 h 15.

A mountain capital at 38 degrees north
Dushanbe lies in the Hisor valley, surrounded by mountain ranges, at about 38.5 degrees north. Daylight grows steadily through February and March, so the fast gains 1 h 05 between the first and the last day in the table above.
On 22 February the table gives 05:29 for imsak and 18:10 for iftar, a fast of 12 h 41. On 8 March the figures read 05:10 and 18:24, for 13 h 15, thirty-four minutes earlier in the morning than on day 1.
Tajik time and late mornings
Tajikistan uses UTC+5 all year, with a reference meridian at 75 degrees east. Dushanbe is at about 68.8 degrees east, so the sun reaches the city roughly twenty-five minutes later than the clock would suggest, and sunrise on day 1 is at 07:24.
Fajr, imsak and isha
On the first day, imsak is at 05:44 and fajr at 05:54, ten minutes apart. Isha comes at 19:19, almost an hour and a half after iftar, and moves to 19:47 by the 29th day, gradually delaying tarawih.
How the timetable is computed
Dawn here is computed with the sun 18 degrees below the horizon and nightfall at 17 degrees, per the Muslim World League. Tajik calendars may rely on other parameters, so a gap of several minutes with local mosques is possible.
Dates for Ramadan 1448 in Tajikistan
The country's religious authorities announce the start of the month, usually in line with neighbouring countries. A crescent reported on Sunday 7 February 2027 would bring the first tarawih that same night and a Monday start, while a missed sighting would push fasting to Tuesday.
Families in Dushanbe will seek Laylat al-Qadr on the night opening after sunset on Friday 5 March. Idi Ramazon, as Eid al-Fitr is called in Tajik, is a public holiday, likely on Tuesday 9 March or, after thirty days, a day later.
Ramadan meals in Dushanbe
Tajik iftars start with dates, dried fruit and green tea, followed by soups such as shurbo and the national dish qurutob, made with bread, yogurt sauce and vegetables. Oshi palov, the rice dish cooked with carrots and meat, often appears on festive evenings.
Sambusa baked in tandoor ovens and round flatbread called non are found on almost every table. Bazaars such as Mehrgon, a modern covered market in the city, are good places to buy dried apricots, nuts and fresh produce before the evening meal.
Practical tips for the Hisor valley
In the Tajik capital, February is cool, with frosty nights, while March brings spring rains and milder days. Residents, students and visitors fasting in the city can make the month easier with a few simple precautions:
- Prepare a warm suhoor before 05:44
- Drink green tea and water after iftar
- Allow time for travel before 17:54
- Confirm prayer times with your local mosque
Is Dushanbe's iftar later than Tashkent's?
Tashkent shares the UTC+5 offset and a similar longitude, but lies about three degrees further north, so its winter sunset comes slightly earlier than Dushanbe's. Travellers between Central Asian capitals should rely on each city's own timetable.
How much longer is the last fast?
The 29th fast, on Monday 8 March, lasts 13 h 15, which is 1 h 05 more than the first. If the month runs to thirty days, the extra fast on Tuesday 9 March would be about two minutes longer.
Does Tajikistan change the clock during Ramadan?
No. Tajikistan does not observe daylight saving time, so the same UTC+5 clock applies throughout Ramadan 2027 and Eid. Every figure shown earlier on this page can be used as it stands, from the first suhoor right up to the Eid morning prayer.
