Gelendzhik prayer times overview
The Gelendzhik page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Gelendzhik: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Gelendzhik coordinates: 44.5622°N and 38.0764°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.
The daytime interval in Gelendzhik today is 12 часов 2 минуты — from sunrise at 06:18 to Maghrib at 18:20. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Gelendzhik the period from Maghrib (18:20) to Fajr (04:52) lasts 10 часов 32 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Gelendzhik prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
If you plan your day around the Gelendzhik prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:52 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:20 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 19:40 the start of the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Gelendzhik
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Gelendzhik 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 (04:52) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (18:20) 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Gelendzhik it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
