Ramadan 2025: Top 10 Global Cities with the Longest and Shortest Fasting Hours

Ramadan, also known as Ramzan, Ramzaan, or Ramazan, is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar or the Hijri calendar. It is observed by millions of Muslims worldwide as a period of fasting, devotion, and spiritual reflection. The fasting period, known as Roza, extends from dawn (Suhoor) to sunset (Iftar) and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The length of the daily fast varies across the globe due to geographical differences in daylight hours, leading to significantly different fasting durations based on location.

Muslims residing in northern regions experience longer fasting hours compared to those living near the Equator or in the Southern Hemisphere, where the sun sets earlier. This variation makes Ramadan a unique experience for each Muslim community around the world.
