Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Morocco
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 3 cities.
How Morocco decides
Morocco's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Morocco starts Ramadan a day later than most North African neighbors more often than not because it sits at the western edge of the sighting zone. The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs announced 2025-03-02 for 1446 (crescent unconfirmed the evening before) and 2026-02-19 for 1447.
