Times above are calculated for Dhaka using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method. The Islamic Foundation Bangladesh applies a small precautionary buffer in its official calendar — a few minutes earlier for Sehri and later for Iftar.
Eid al-Fitr 2027 in Bangladesh is expected on Thursday, 11 March 2027, subject to the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon.
Fast-Day Checklist for Dhaka
Fasting hours in Dhaka run roughly 12 hours 30 minutes at the start of Ramadan and stretch by about 15 minutes by the final week. A few daily habits make the long days easier.
- Protein-powered Sehri: Add lentils, eggs, and chira with yoghurt for sustained energy through humid Dhaka mornings.
- Walk after Iftar: A short walk before Taraweeh aids digestion, especially after fried snacks like beguni or piyaju.
- Screen-light cut-off: Reduce phone or TV use after 10 PM for deeper sleep, particularly if you wake for Qiyam.
- Daily Sadaqah: Automate small daily donations through bKash or Jaago Foundation to simplify Zakat planning.
- Mosque plan B: Save two or three mosques near home or office in case rain or traffic blocks your usual Taraweeh spot.
- Weekend batch cooking: Prep and freeze haleem, khichuri, or curry on the weekend to avoid evening cooking stress on workdays.
- Niyyah with awareness: Take 30 seconds at Sehri each morning to set your intention consciously.
Breaking Fast on the Move
Whether you are working in Gulshan, crossing the Padma by launch, or transiting through Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC), sunset can catch you in motion. These pointers help you stay aligned with the local clock.
- Maghrib on the move: If you are on the Dhaka Metro Rail or stuck in CNG traffic at sunset, keep dates and water handy but wait for the Adhān from a prayer app or nearby mosque before breaking your fast.
- River launches and ferries: If you are crossing the Padma or Meghna near Maghrib, rely on a GPS-based prayer app for the exact sunset at your location rather than the boat’s announcement.
- Village versus city: In rural areas, Maghrib can appear a minute or two earlier due to clearer horizons. Stick to the Islamic Foundation calendar for your district or confirm with the local muezzin.
- International flights: Flying westward from Dhaka to London, Jeddah, or Dubai can extend your fast. Break it at sunset for your current altitude and location, not Dhaka time. Consult a scholar before long-haul flights that may stretch fasting hours significantly.
- Land border crossings: If you cross the India–Bangladesh border at Benapole or Tamabil around sunset, break your fast according to the side you are physically on at Maghrib.
- Smartwatch and phone sync: Turn on location services in your prayer app so Sehri and Iftar times update automatically as you move between divisions.
Travelling to Dhaka During Ramadan
If you are flying into Dhaka or onward to Chattogram, Sylhet, or Cox’s Bazar, book early. Fares climb in the run-up to Eid as expats return home.
