* Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days. The 30th fast is kept only if the Shawwal moon is not sighted on the evening of the 29th; otherwise Eid al-Fitr is the next day.
Times are local time in Zanzibar City (Africa/Dar es Salaam). Sehri ends when Fajr begins and Iftar is at sunset (Maghrib). Fast length is counted from Fajr to Maghrib. Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, and local moon sighting may move them by a day.
How the times change through Ramadan in Zanzibar City
Between the first and the 29th fast, Sehri in Zanzibar City moves about 4 minutes later (5:15 AM to 5:19 AM), and Iftar moves about 8 minutes earlier (6:47 PM to 6:39 PM). As a result the fast grows shorter by about 12 minutes, from 13h 32m to 13h 20m.
The Muslim World League angles are a common default in East Africa, where most Muslims follow the Shafi school. If your mosque follows a different convention, choose it above and the timetable updates. Sehri and Iftar don't depend on the Asr setting, so only the method changes these times.
For breaking the fast, see the dua for breaking the fast and the other Ramadan duas. Daily prayer times for the rest of the year are on the prayer times page for Zanzibar City, and the Ramadan guide explains the month.
