Current time in Mazar-i-Sharif

Local time in Mazar-i-Sharif falls within the Asia/Kabul zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.

Sitting at a latitude of about 36.7° in the northern hemisphere, Mazar-i-Sharif's day length varies clearly between the long days of summer and the shorter days of winter. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.

The prayer times shown for Mazar-i-Sharif are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
