Prayer Times in Kuwait City — 2027

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Kuwait City — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:00, Dhuhr at 11:48, Asr at 15:22, Maghrib at 18:13 and Isha at 19:43. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 05:25. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Kuwait timezone (UTC+3), the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Kuwait City: 29.3759, 47.9774. Time zone Asia/Kuwait (UTC+3) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 3.0 million people.

Kuwait City is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 05:25 and Maghrib is at 18:13. Dhuhr (11:48) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Kuwait City.

Calculation for Kuwait City starts from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. Official Gulf tables generally follow Umm al-Qura, with Isha a fixed interval after Maghrib rather than a twilight angle.

Travellers through Kuwait City should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Kuwait City is 224.6° from true north (SW), about 1,204 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Basra (127 km), prayer times in Dammam (389 km), prayer times in Khobar (414 km), prayer times in Manama (434 km), prayer times in Shiraz (446 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Kuwait City is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
