Gyumri prayer times overview
The Gyumri page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Gyumri is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Gyumri coordinates: 40.7931°N and 43.8464°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.
Gyumri prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Gyumri 14 часов 7 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:07, while the evening prayer begins at 20:14. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 19 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:14 and the morning Fajr at 04:33. For Gyumri this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Gyumri the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Gyumri, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:33), Maghrib (20:14) and Isha (21:40) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Gyumri prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:33: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:07: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.

Questions about prayer times in Gyumri
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Gyumri daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:33) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:14) 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 Gyumri 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.
