Prayer Times Savannah, GA Today

How Prayer Times in Savannah Change Through the Year

No two days in Savannah start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 07 Jun 2026 at 4:57 AM, while the latest falls on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:36 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 1 hour 39 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Savannah sits at 32.1 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in Savannah is earliest on 02 Dec 2026 at 5:19 PM and latest on 26 Jun 2026 at 8:35 PM, a shift of 3 hours 16 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:34 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 5:24 PM.

Anyone who keeps the voluntary fasts, on Mondays and Thursdays or the white days of each month, feels the range most. The longest fast of 2026 in Savannah runs 15 hours 37 minutes, on 20 Jun 2026, from a Fajr of 4:57 AM to a Maghrib of 8:34 PM; the shortest is just 11 hours 16 minutes on 16 Dec 2026. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast sits near the gentle end of the table, ranked 193 of 218. Solar noon drifts as well: Dhuhr moves between 12:08 PM and 1:35 PM across the year, following the equation of time.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Savannah

The Savannah timetable on this page is calculated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, the convention followed by most mosques in the United States. It sets Fajr and Isha by a 15-degree depression angle of the sun, and Asr by the standard shadow rule; the Hanafi Asr is one tap away in the method selector. Each prayer is tied to a position of the sun, never to a fixed clock time. Today, 03 Nov 2026, is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448.

Fajr (5:34 AM today)

Fajr is the dawn prayer, and its time begins at true dawn, the first horizontal light in the east. Today in Savannah that is 5:34 AM. Pray it before sunrise (6:43 AM); after sunrise it counts as qada (missed). Through the year in Savannah, dawn moves between 4:57 AM and 6:36 AM, so the Fajr alarm needs resetting with the seasons.

Dhuhr (12:08 PM today)

Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point and starts to descend. Clock noon and solar noon rarely match, because Savannah sits inside the America/New_York zone rather than on its meridian, so Dhuhr today is 12:08 PM. On Fridays, Jummah replaces Dhuhr.

Asr (3:11 PM today)

Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height beyond the noon shadow. That standard rule (Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) gives 3:11 PM in Savannah today. The Hanafi rule waits until the shadow is twice the height, which falls roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; use the calculation method selector at the top of this page to view Hanafi Asr. Finish Asr before the sun turns yellow and weak near the horizon.

Maghrib (5:33 PM today)

Maghrib's window opens at sunset, the instant the sun's disc drops fully out of sight: 5:33 PM today in Savannah. For someone fasting, this is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast at once, with dates or water, before praying.

Isha (6:41 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

When the red twilight has gone from the west, Isha begins: 6:41 PM tonight in Savannah. The night that follows is measured from Maghrib to Fajr; its last third, after Islamic midnight, is the Tahajjud time. Use the Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third in Savannah.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Savannah (54.79° North-East)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Savannah the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 54.79° north-east from true north. The bearing is calculated from Savannah's coordinates (32.1° N, 81.1° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Along that bearing, the Kaaba is about 7061 miles (11364 km) from Savannah in a straight line over the Earth's curved surface. It surprises many people that the direction is north-east rather than south-east: from North America, the shortest line to Mecca crosses the North Atlantic, not the Pacific.

To face the qibla at home or at work in Savannah, open the Qibla Compass on your phone, calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it away from metal furniture and electrical equipment that pull the needle. In a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in Georgia: The Two Jump Days

Savannah moves its clocks twice a year, and the prayer timetable jumps with them. Daylight saving begins on 08 Mar 2026: Fajr leaps from 5:38 AM to 6:36 AM in one night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib follows, from 6:27 PM to 7:27 PM. On 01 Nov 2026 the clocks fall back, and Fajr returns from 6:32 AM to 5:33 AM. Mosques in Savannah reset their iqamah boards on the same weekends. This page always follows the America/New_York time in force, so the times you see are already adjusted.
