What the Shiraz table shows
On 8 February, fajr sounds at 05:24, the sun rises at 06:45 and isha follows at 18:59. Imsak precedes fajr by ten minutes, a margin observed throughout Iran so that sahari is finished before the true dawn.
Southern latitude, steadier days
At twenty-nine and a half degrees north, Shiraz has longer winter days than Tehran or Tabriz. Its fast starts longer, 12 h 29 min, but grows more slowly, to 12 h 50 min on day 15 and 13 h 14 min on day 29.
Over the month, iftar moves from 17:43 to 18:04 and imsak from 05:14 to 04:49. The total increase of forty-five minutes is the smallest of the five Iranian cities, which makes routines easier to keep.
Shiraz compared with the north
Tabriz, furthest north, fasts only 12 h 11 min on day 1, eighteen minutes less than Shiraz. In clock time, Shiraz's 17:43 iftar is close to Isfahan's 17:42 and Tehran's 17:39, despite the distance between them.
Why times vary between sources
This page uses the Muslim World League method with 18 and 17 degrees, and lists sunset as iftar. Iranian official calendars apply their own angles and delay maghrib slightly, so the call from your Shiraz mosque may come a few minutes later.
How the start of the month is decided
The office of the Supreme Leader proclaims the start of Ramadan after the crescent is sighted. Shirazis will fast from Monday 8 February 2027 if the moon is seen on the evening of Sunday 7 February, or from Tuesday if not.
The Qadr nights on the 19th, 21st and 23rd draw crowds to mosques and shrines, and the 27th night is expected on Friday 5 March. Eid al-Fitr, an official holiday, should fall on Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March.
Shah Cheragh, gardens and faloodeh
The shrine of Shah Cheragh is the spiritual centre of Shiraz during Ramadan, especially on the Qadr nights. The Vakil Mosque and the Nasir al-Molk Mosque, famous for its stained glass, are also part of the city's religious landscape.
Shiraz is mild in February, with sunny days and cool nights, milder than Tehran or Tabriz. Faloodeh shirazi, the rosewater and lime noodle sorbet, is the city's famous treat, often enjoyed later in the evening after a warm iftar.
Living the month in Shiraz
Pleasant weather encourages long evenings outdoors in gardens and squares, which can shorten the nights before sahari considerably. These suggestions help residents, students and visiting travellers balance spiritual activities, work and rest during the month:
- Rest after tarawih and before sahari
- Visit gardens in the late afternoon
- Drink water steadily after iftar
- Expect shops to reopen after sunset
- Check local maghrib announcements
What time is iftar in Shiraz on 8 February 2027?
Iftar corresponds to sunset at 17:43 on Monday 8 February 2027. The fast that day began at 05:14, imsak time, making 12 h 29 min in total, the longest first-day fast among the five Iranian cities listed here.
Does Shiraz fast longer than Tehran at the end of Ramadan?
No, by the 29th day the gap disappears. Shiraz, Tehran, Isfahan and Mashhad all fast 13 h 14 min on Monday 8 March 2027, while Tabriz reaches 13 h 15 min, as day length evens out near the equinox.
Where can visitors find iftar in Shiraz?
Many restaurants around the historic centre and near the bazaar reopen at sunset, offering set iftar menus with dates, soup and tea. Visitors staying in hotels can usually also arrange an early-morning sahari meal on request.
