Sighnaghi prayer times overview
The Sighnaghi prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Sighnaghi: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Sighnaghi coordinates: 41.6192°N and 45.9223°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.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Sighnaghi the sun rises at 05:56, while Maghrib begins at 20:08. Daylight lasts 14 часов 12 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 12 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:08 and the morning Fajr at 04:20. For Sighnaghi 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 Sighnaghi the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Sighnaghi: Fajr — 04:20, Maghrib — 20:08 and Isha — 21:37. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Sighnaghi 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.

Questions about prayer times in Sighnaghi
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.
The prayer schedule in Sighnaghi is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:20) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:08): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Sighnaghi according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
