Tiksi prayer times overview
The Tiksi 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 Tiksi is 6 часов 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.
Tiksi coordinates: 71.6908°N and 128.8652°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Tiksi prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
According to today's schedule for Tiksi, the sun rises at 01:36, while the Maghrib time begins at 23:19. 21 hour 43 минуты passes between these events. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
In Tiksi 1 hour 40 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 23:19, while Fajr begins at 00:59. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Tiksi, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Tiksi affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
When preparing for prayer in Tiksi, it is convenient to check Fajr (00:59), Maghrib (23:19) and Isha (23:53) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Tiksi 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 00:59: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 01:36: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:30: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:26: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 23:19: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Tiksi
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Tiksi 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (00:59) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (23:19): 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.
Because Tiksi is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
