Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Cyprus
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Cyprus decides
Practice varies across Cyprus: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
The island is split between the Republic of Cyprus's small historic Muslim minority (served by bodies such as the Cyprus Islamic Association) and Turkish Cypriots in the north, who generally follow Turkey's Diyanet dates; both landed on March 1, 2025 for Ramadan 1446, so no visible split that year. A confirmed 1447 (2026) date could not be sourced, so it is left null.
