Prayer Times in Nicosia — 2024

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Nicosia — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:50, Dhuhr at 12:47, Asr at 16:25, Maghrib at 19:16 and Isha at 20:38. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:18. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Nicosia timezone (UTC+3 · EEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Nicosia is listed under Nicosia in Cyprus. The engine uses 35.1856 latitude and 33.3823 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Nicosia. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 330,000 people.

For the latitude of Nicosia, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:18 and Maghrib is 19:16. Dhuhr (12:47) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Cyprus, and why this page is calculated from Nicosia’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Nicosia starts from Muslim World League. 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. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Nicosia (Cyprus) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Nicosia is 156.0° from true north (SSE), about 1,654 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 Tripoli (240 km), prayer times in Beirut (241 km), prayer times in Adana (267 km), prayer times in Haifa (304 km), prayer times in Antalya (306 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 Nicosia is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
