Ramadan timetable 2027 in Tabriz: calculated times
In Tabriz, 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 05:29 and 18:10.
Ramadan 2027 should start in Tabriz on Monday 8 February, with imsak at 05:44 and iftar at 17:55. The opening fast lasts only 12 h 11 min, the shortest of Iran's major cities, before rising past thirteen hours by March.
| Day | Imsak | Fajr | Sunrise | Iftar (maghrib) | Isha | Fasting time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 – Mon 8 Feb | 05:44 | 05:54 | 07:23 | 17:55 | 19:19 | 12 h 11 |
| Day 15 – Mon 22 Feb | 05:29 | 05:39 | 07:07 | 18:10 | 19:33 | 12 h 41 |
| Day 29 – Mon 8 Mar | 05:10 | 05:20 | 06:47 | 18:25 | 19:47 | 13 h 15 |

Late dawn, late dusk
The table above gives fajr at 05:54, sunrise at 07:23 and isha at 19:19 on the first day. Tabriz lies in the north-west of Iran, so both dawn and sunset come later on the clock than in Tehran or Mashhad.
Compared with Mashhad, whose first iftar is at 17:05, Tabriz waits fifty minutes more. Sunrise at 07:23 is also among the latest in the country, giving residents a longer night to sleep after sahari before the working day.
From 12 h 11 min to 13 h 15 min
Mid-month, on 22 February, Tabriz fasts from 05:29 to 18:10, or 12 h 41 min. On 8 March, the 29th day, the fast runs from 05:10 to 18:25, reaching 13 h 15 min, the longest final-day fast of the five Iranian cities.
Latitude explains this pattern clearly. At thirty-eight degrees north, the highest latitude on the Iranian list, Tabriz has the shortest winter days of the group, but they also lengthen fastest as spring approaches, so its fast gains sixty-four minutes over the month.
About the calculation
The schedule is based on the Muslim World League convention, 18 degrees for fajr and 17 for isha. Iranian official tables use their own parameters and place maghrib after sunset, so the local mosque or the provincial calendar remains the reference.
Snow and cold in East Azerbaijan
February is a winter month in Tabriz, with frequent frost, snow on the slopes of nearby mountains and grey days. The cold makes fasting less tiring, but walking to dawn prayers on icy streets requires good shoes and warm clothing.
Dates of Ramadan and Eid in 2027
The office of the Supreme Leader announces the beginning of Ramadan once the crescent is confirmed. If that happens on Sunday 7 February 2027, the first tarawih night precedes a first fast on Monday 8 February; otherwise everything shifts by a day.
Qadr vigils on the 19th, 21st and 23rd nights are central for Tabriz's Shia population, while the 27th night is expected on Friday 5 March. Eid al-Fitr should fall on Tuesday 9 March, or Wednesday 10 March.
Bazaar life and Azerbaijani cooking
Tabriz's vast covered bazaar, one of the oldest in the Middle East, becomes busy in the late afternoon as people buy bread, dried fruit and sweets for iftar. The Blue Mosque is another landmark of the city's religious heritage.
Kufteh Tabrizi, the giant meatball stuffed with egg, nuts and dried fruit, is the city's signature dish and a festive choice for iftar. Local Azerbaijani pastries and hot tea complete the meal on cold evenings.
Tips for a winter Ramadan in Tabriz
Cold weather, short days and lively evenings shape the month in Tabriz for families, workers and the many students of its universities. The following suggestions help keep energy and concentration steady from sahari until iftar each day:
- Wear thermal layers for night prayers
- Eat a warm, filling sahari
- Shop at the bazaar well before 17:55
- Avoid icy shortcuts at dawn
- Follow the provincial maghrib time
Why is iftar later in Tabriz than in Tehran?
Tabriz is about five degrees of longitude west of Tehran, so the sun sets sixteen minutes later on day 1, 17:55 against 17:39. Both cities use Iran Standard Time, which keeps the same offset throughout the month.
Is Tabriz's fast long compared with other Iranian cities?
On day 1 it is the shortest, at 12 h 11 min, against 12 h 29 min in Shiraz. By day 29 the situation reverses slightly: Tabriz fasts 13 h 15 min, one minute more than Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad and Shiraz.
What time does sahari end on the last day?
On Monday 8 March 2027, imsak in Tabriz is at 05:10, ten minutes before fajr at 05:20. That is thirty-four minutes earlier than on the first day, when sahari could continue until 05:44, a change worth noting on the alarm clock.
