Ramadan 1448 H is expected to begin in Chittagong on Monday, 8 February 2027, subject to the moon sighting confirmed by Bangladesh’s National Moon Sighting Committee.
Here’s a complete day-by-day Sehri and Iftar reference for Chattogram, plus the key dates and practical tips you’ll need for the month.
When Ramadan 2027 Starts in Chittagong
Bangladesh’s National Moon Sighting Committee announces the official start of Ramadan after its moon-sighting meeting in Dhaka. Astronomical projections from the Hijri calendar for Bangladesh put 1 Ramadan 1448 on Monday, 8 February 2027.
If the crescent isn’t sighted on 7 February, the first fast moves to Tuesday, 9 February 2027, with Eid al-Fitr likely shifting to 10 or 11 March 2027.
Always wait for IFB’s confirmation the evening before fasting begins — local mosques in Chattogram follow the national announcement, not Saudi Arabia’s.
Sehri and Iftar Times in Chittagong: Full 29-Day Calendar
The full day-by-day timetable below is calculated for Chattogram (22.36°N, 91.78°E) using the 18° Fajr depression standard followed by the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh. Chittagong sits east of Dhaka, so timings fall roughly 3–5 minutes earlier than the Dhaka chart.

Times are astronomical projections. The Islamic Foundation Bangladesh publishes the official minute-by-minute chart shortly before Ramadan — confirm before each fast.
Fasting Hours Across the Month
Ramadan 2027 falls in late winter and early spring, so daylight hours stay relatively short for Chittagong fasters compared with summer Ramadans.
- First fast (8 Feb): roughly 12 hours 33 minutes
- Mid-Ramadan (22 Feb): roughly 12 hours 47 minutes
- Last fast (8 Mar): roughly 13 hours 5 minutes
You’ll add about 32 minutes of fasting time between Day 1 and Day 29 as the days lengthen. Plan hydration and meal timing around the gradual shift.
Key Dates: Laylat al-Qadr and Eid al-Fitr
Laylat al-Qadr
The Night of Power falls in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, with the 27th night most widely observed. For 2027, that lines up with the night of 5–6 March 2027 in Chittagong.
Most Chattogram mosques — including Andarkilla Shahi Jame Mosque, Chandanpura Jame Mosque, and the major mosques around Jamal Khan and Agrabad — run extended Qiyam-ul-Layl prayers on odd nights of the last ashra (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th).
I’tikaf typically begins after Maghrib on 27 February 2027 (evening of 20 Ramadan) and continues until the Eid moon sighting.
Eid al-Fitr 2027
Eid is expected on Tuesday, 9 March 2027 if Ramadan runs 29 days, or Wednesday, 10 March 2027 if it runs the full 30. The IFB will announce the final date after the Shawwal moon sighting on the 29th evening.
Recent Chattogram City Corporation arrangements have centered the main Eid jamaat at the Jamiatul Falah National Mosque ground, with additional large congregations at venues such as Andarkillah Shahi Jame Mosque, Laldighi Maidan, Parade Ground, Pologround Maidan and Agrabad Jamboree Field.
Practical Tips for Ramadan in Chittagong
- Iftar bazaars: Cheragi Pahar, Andarkilla, GEC Circle, Jamal Khan and Station Road run nightly stalls — arrive 45 minutes before Maghrib to beat the crowd.
- Local iftar staples: chola, piyaju, beguni, jilapi, haleem and the city’s signature mezban beef on weekends.
- Late-night Sehri: CDA Avenue, Agrabad and the area around Chittagong Railway Station stay open through the early hours.
- Airport timing: Allow extra buffer at Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) on Eid eve — domestic routes fill up fast.
- Eid-period flights: Biman Bangladesh Airlines, US-Bangla Airlines and Air Astra may adjust Eid-period schedules on domestic routes such as Dhaka, Sylhet and Cox’s Bazar; check airline schedules and book ahead.
- Where to stay: Hotels in Chittagong around Agrabad and GEC Circle keep you closest to the iftar circuit.
- Office hours: Government offices usually shift to a shorter Ramadan schedule; recent Ramadan hours have been around 9:00 AM–3:30 PM.
- Restaurants: Most close in daylight hours; outlets in Khulshi and Agrabad serving non-Muslim guests stay open for tourists.
- Traffic: Expect heavy pre-iftar congestion 4:30–6:00 PM, especially on CDA Avenue and around New Market.
- Banking: Bangladesh Bank sets separate Ramadan banking hours each year; check the current circular before visiting branches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Chittagong’s Sehri and Iftar times the same as Dhaka’s?
No. Chittagong lies east of Dhaka, so both Fajr and Maghrib occur roughly 3 to 5 minutes earlier. Use the Chattogram-specific chart from the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh, not the Dhaka one.
Where can I get the official daily timetable?
The Islamic Foundation Bangladesh publishes official Sehri and Iftar schedules on islamicfoundation.gov.bd in the weeks before Ramadan begins. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department also publishes Islamic calendar materials.
Will Ramadan 2027 be 29 or 30 days in Bangladesh?
It depends on the Shawwal moon sighting on the 29th evening. If the crescent is sighted on 8 March 2027, Ramadan ends at 29 days and Eid is on 9 March. If not, Ramadan completes 30 days and Eid falls on 10 March 2027.
What is the longest fasting day in Chittagong during Ramadan 2027?
The final fast on or around 8 March 2027 is the longest, at roughly 13 hours and 5 minutes. The first fast on 8 February is the shortest, at about 12 hours 33 minutes.
