Fajr Prayer in Cairns โ€” Frequently Asked Questions

Answers refreshed daily based on today's actual Fajr time, sunrise, sunset, and Hijri date in Cairns.

What time is Fajr today in Cairns?
Fajr in Cairns, Australia begins today (Wednesday, May 27, 2026) at 05:18 local time (Australia/Brisbane). This is the start of the dawn prayer window, which closes at sunrise.
