Fasting in Amman from winter into spring
Ramadan 2027 spans the end of winter in Jordan, from cold, sometimes rainy February days to milder March afternoons. The opening fasts are among the shortest Jordanians have known in recent decades, and they lengthen steadily as spring approaches.
The month in figures
The timetable above records a fast of 12 h 24 on day one, 12 h 48 on day 15 and 13 h 14 on day 29. Iftar in Amman moves from 18:16 to 18:28 and then to 18:39.
Imsak advances in parallel from 05:52 to 05:40 and finally to 05:25. Taken together, the earlier dawn and later sunset add fifty minutes to the fast between the first and the last days of Ramadan in the capital.
Why sunrise comes so late
Jordan keeps UTC+3 throughout the year, a time that would normally suit regions further east. Consequently, sunrise in Amman comes around 07:25 at the start of the month, and morning prayer falls after six o'clock.
Calculation and the official imsakiyya
These figures use the Muslim World League method, with dawn at 18° and nightfall at 17° below the horizon, and imsak ten minutes before fajr. The Jordanian imsakiyya, published by the religious authorities, may differ by a few minutes, and mosques follow it.
The announcement of the Grand Mufti
The General Iftaa' Department, headed by the Grand Mufti of Jordan, announces the start of the month after the crescent is sought on the evening of Sunday 7 February 2027. If the sighting fails, fasting begins on Tuesday 9 February.
Iftar tables in Jordanian homes
Families usually open the fast with dates, water and qamar al-din, a thick apricot drink, or with tamarind juice. Lentil soup, salads and maqluba, the upside-down rice dish, are frequent, while qatayef filled with nuts or cheese close the evening.
The streets of Amman stay animated late at night, with sweet shops selling kunafa and families visiting relatives after tarawih. Charitable iftars, offered by associations and mosques, provide meals for those in need throughout the month.
Working hours and daily life
During Ramadan, official working hours in Jordan's public sector are usually shortened, and many private companies follow suit. Traffic peaks sharply in the hour before 18:16 as people rush home, so cautious driving at that time is strongly advised.
Tarawih, Laylat al-Qadr and Eid
The first tarawih should take place on Sunday 7 February. At the King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman, crowds gather on the last ten nights, especially the 27th, expected on Friday 5 March. Eid al-Fitr is anticipated on Tuesday 9 March 2027.
If Ramadan completes thirty days, Eid moves to Wednesday 10 March. The holiday begins with the morning prayer, followed by visits to family, ma'amoul biscuits and often a festive mansaf, the national dish of lamb, rice and fermented yogurt sauce.
Advice for fasting in Jordan
Cold mornings in Amman call for a warm suhoor, while March afternoons become milder. Drinking water steadily after iftar and resting before tarawih help keep energy up, especially for those combining work and long evenings of worship.
- End suhoor before 05:52 during the first days.
- Avoid driving in the rush just before iftar.
- Use the official Jordanian imsakiyya for mosque times.
- Prepare zakat al-fitr ahead of Eid.
What time is iftar in Amman on the first day of Ramadan 2027?
On Monday 8 February 2027, the expected first day of the month, iftar in Amman is calculated at 18:16 and imsak at 05:52, according to the method used here. On the expected 29th day, Monday 8 March, iftar falls at 18:39.
How much longer is the fast at the end of the month?
The last fast in Amman, around 13 hours 14 minutes, is fifty minutes longer than the first, which lasts 12 hours 24 minutes. Most of this increase comes from dawn arriving earlier as the days lengthen toward the spring equinox.
