Aktau prayer times overview
For Aktau it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
The Aktau prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Aktau coordinates: 43.6611°N and 51.1739°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Aktau 14 часов 20 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:31, while the evening prayer begins at 20:51. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Aktau 7 часов 59 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:51, while Fajr begins at 04:50. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Aktau the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Aktau prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:50 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:51 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:24 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Aktau are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:50: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:31: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:41: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:43: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:51: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Aktau
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Aktau are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:50) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:51) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Aktau it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
