Prayer Times in Samarkand

Samarkand prayer times overview

The Samarkand page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.

Samarkand prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.

Samarkand geographic location is 39.6542°N, 66.9597°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.

If you plan your day around the Samarkand prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:05 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 19:39 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:03 the start of the night prayer.
