Metsamor prayer times overview
For Metsamor 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 Metsamor prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Metsamor the coordinates 40.0725°N and 44.2905°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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 Metsamor today is 14 часов 3 минуты — from sunrise at 06:07 to Maghrib at 20:10. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Metsamor begins after Maghrib at 20:10 and lasts until Fajr at 04:34. Its duration is 8 часов 24 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Metsamor the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Metsamor prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:34 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:10 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:36 the start of the night prayer.
The Metsamor 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.

Questions about prayer times in Metsamor
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.
We update the schedule in Metsamor 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 (04:34) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:10) 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 Metsamor 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.
