Ramadan timetable for Kuwait CityKuwait City is the capital, home to about 60,000 people. The nearest larger city is Ḩawallī, 7 km to the southeast. Kuwait City lies 3° east of the 45° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 12 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:48, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Kuwait City: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 84° above the horizon in June and only 37° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Kuwait City range from 10h 16m in December to 14h 2m in June, a difference of 3h 46m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
Kuwait City is the capital of a country where Islam is the religion of the State under Article 2 of the 1962 constitution, and Islamic law is a main source of legislation. Kuwait does not publish figures by sect: recent estimates put citizens at about 70% Sunni and 30% Shia, and among expatriates, who are a majority of residents, about 62.7% are Muslim and roughly 5% Shia, according to the US State Department's 2023 report. The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs oversees mosques and religious education, and the government appoints Sunni imams and regulates the Friday sermons.
The Grand Mosque of Kuwait is the largest in the country. Building started in 1979 and was completed on 1 Shawwal 1407 AH (1986 to 1987 CE), which coincided with Eid al-Fitr. The site covers 45,000 square metres and the building 20,000, and the main prayer hall measures 72 metres on each side. It holds up to 10,000 men in the main hall and 950 women in a separate hall, 11,000 in all. The dome is 26 metres in diameter and 43 metres high and is decorated with the 99 names of God, the minaret is 74 metres high and reflects Andalusian design, and there are teakwood doors and 144 windows for natural light. The complex has a 350-square-metre Islamic reference library and a five-level underground car park for 550 cars.
For prayer times, Kuwait City lies at 29.4 degrees north and keeps UTC+3 without daylight saving.
