Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Djibouti
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Djibouti decides
Djibouti's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Djibouti confirmed sighting of the Ramadan crescent alongside Libya and Somalia, beginning Ramadan 1446 on 2025-03-01. The exact 1447 (2026) date could not be confirmed: sources gave conflicting figures of 2026-02-18 and 2026-02-19 with no located official Djiboutian announcement. Not verified for 1447 and for the specific announcing authority.
