Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in Pakistan on Monday, 8 February 2027, pending Ruet-e-Hilal Committee moon-sighting confirmation.
The 29-day Karachi Sehri and Iftar timetable below is calculated for the city; confirm with your local masjid closer to the date.
Sehri and Iftar Timetable
Times listed are Fajr (Sehri close) and Maghrib (Iftar) for Karachi, computed using the University of Islamic Sciences method. If you are planning travel around Ramadan in Pakistan, also check flights to Karachi and hotels in Karachi well in advance, as fares climb closer to Eid. Travellers heading north can cross-check Sehri and Iftar times in Islamabad before they leave.

If the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announces a 30th fasting day, add roughly one extra minute to Sehri and Iftar from the 29 March entry.
Fast-Day Checklist
- Sip limoon pani in measured glasses between Iftar and Taraweeh; Karachi’s coastal humidity dehydrates faster than the temperature suggests.
- Build Sehri around slow-release carbs — khajla-pheni with boiled eggs, or wholewheat parathas with yoghurt — to hold energy past Dhuhr.
- Front-load errands, school runs and outdoor work before noon to dodge the warmest hours.
- Note the K-Electric load-shedding schedule for your area so the fridge cools water and dates ahead of Maghrib.
- Set a small, fixed daily sadaqah through a registered charity such as the Edhi Foundation; consistency matters more than scale.
- For Taraweeh at Masjid-e-Tooba, park on the opposite side of Korangi Road and walk; the lot fills 30 minutes before Isha.
- Take a quiet minute after Fajr to set your niyyah for the day; it steadies focus when energy dips by mid-afternoon.
Fasting on the Move from Karachi
- Clifton and Sea View Maghrib: the open sea horizon makes the sunset look later than the calculated time. Trust the masjid Adhan or your prayer app over the visual cue.
- Lyari Expressway and Northern Bypass: if Maghrib falls while you are still driving, pull off safely before breaking the fast; water and a date in the car are enough.
- Jinnah International departures: follow the captain’s announcement, not Karachi ground time — altitude shifts sunset by several minutes.
- Manora and Kemari ferry crossings: open your prayer app before boarding so it locks to GPS once the ferry leaves the shoreline.
- Inter-provincial coaches to Quetta or Gwadar: switch to the destination’s timetable once you cross the Sindh-Balochistan border — Maghrib runs later as you move west.
- Overnight train to Lahore: dining car staff usually announce Sehri and Iftar over the PA; if not, set local alerts for each station you pass.
FAQs
What if Pakistan’s moon sighting moves Ramadan to 9 February?
Shift the entire schedule one day forward — Ramadan 1 becomes 9 February and Ramadan 29 becomes 9 March. Sehri and Iftar times move by under a minute, so the calculated values remain usable.
Is Sehri the same as Imsak in this table?
The Sehri column shows Fajr — the moment fasting begins. Many Karachi masjids announce Imsak 5 to 10 minutes earlier as a precautionary cut-off. Stop eating by Fajr at the latest.
Where can I find timings for a specific Karachi neighbourhood?
The calculated times vary by under a minute across the city. For neighbourhood-level precision, use the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s prayer-time portal or the IslamicFinder app with your exact coordinates.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027 in Pakistan?
Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday, 9 March 2027, subject to Shawwal moon sighting on the evening of 8 March. If Ramadan extends to 30 days, Eid falls on 10 March.
