Prayer Times in San José

Today's Fajr time for San José is at the top of this page, with a live countdown. It is computed from the sun's position at San José's coordinates using the Muslim World League method and shown in America/Costa_Rica, so it is correct whether you are reading this in San José or planning a trip from elsewhere.

Maghrib begins the moment the sun sets in San José, and in Ramadan that is the time to break your fast. Today's Maghrib is listed above and the monthly timetable below gives every day this month, so you can plan ahead.

Costa Rica generally follows Muslim World League, which is what this page uses by default. Methods differ mainly in the sun angle they use for Fajr and Isha, so the two ends of the day can vary by several minutes between them. If your mosque follows another method, the prayer times tool lets you switch and see the difference.

The qibla from San José is 59° NE from north, measured as a great-circle bearing to the Kaaba in Makkah — the shortest path across the earth's surface, which is why it can differ from the direction a flat map suggests.

They are calculated for San José's own coordinates rather than a country-wide average, which matters: prayer times shift by roughly four minutes for every degree of longitude. For the closest match, use the page for the city nearest you.
