What time is it in Aktobe right now?
The time in Aktobe, Kazakhstan is 7:07 pm, 19:07 on a 24 hour clock, on Saturday September 26, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Asia/Aqtobe rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Aktobe sits at 50.28 degrees north and 57.21 degrees east, well into the temperate belt and 5,591 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 75.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 17.8 degrees west of that line. Those 17.8 degrees are worth 71 minutes 10 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:03 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Aktobe time zone and UTC offset

The offset stays at UTC+5 in January and in July alike, so no conversion involving Aktobe ever needs a seasonal footnote.

Cities on Asia/Aqtobe time
Aktobe is the only city in our catalogue on Asia/Aqtobe. Other cities may share its UTC+5 offset today without sharing its rules, which is the distinction that matters the moment a clock change comes round.
Moon phase over Aktobe tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 15.4 days into its cycle and about 99% lit. The next full moon falls on September 26, 2026 at 9:48 pm Aqtobe time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 8:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Aktobe clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Aktobe
There is no clock change scheduled in Asia/Aqtobe within the next 400 days, so Aktobe stays at UTC+5 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Aktobe an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.

The antipode of Aktobe
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Aktobe, Kazakhstan and you come out at 50.28 degrees south, 122.79 degrees west. That point is in the South Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Punta Arenas, Chile, 3,509 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 11:07 am on Saturday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 50.28 degrees north becomes 50.28 degrees south, and 57.21 degrees east becomes 122.79 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Aktobe is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-7, roughly twelve hours from Aktobe, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Aktobe
Today the sun rises in Aktobe at 7:03 am and sets at 7:01 pm, giving 11 hours 58 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Aktobe.

Sun and moon in Aktobe today
The sun is up in Aktobe for 11 hours 58 minutes today, from 7:03 am to 7:01 pm. The moon sets in Aktobe at 6:29 am and comes up again at 6:37 pm. The next phase is the full moon on September 26, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.
| Sun | Time in Aktobe |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 5:13 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:53 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:31 am |
| Sunrise | 7:03 am |
| Solar noon | 1:03 pm |
| Sunset | 7:01 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:33 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 8:11 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 8:50 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Aktobe | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:31 am to 6:43 am | 0h 13m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:43 am to 7:46 am | 1h 03m |
| Evening golden hour | 6:18 pm to 7:21 pm | 1h 03m |
| Evening blue hour | 7:21 pm to 7:33 pm | 0h 13m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Aktobe |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:37 pm |
| Moonset | 6:29 am |
| Phase | full moon, waxing |
| Illumination | 100% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 15.1 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 381,100 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Saturday, September 26, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Delhi are 12 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 1:00 pm in Aktobe it is working hours in Aktobe, London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Aktobe
Seven days from September 26, 2026, computed for Aktobe, Kazakhstan at 50.28 degrees north, 57.21 degrees east, on the clock of Asia/Aqtobe. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saturday September 26 | 5:13 am | 7:03 am | 1:03 pm | 4:17 pm | 7:01 pm | 8:44 pm |

| Friday October 2 | 5:24 am | 7:12 am | 1:01 pm | 4:07 pm | 6:48 pm | 8:30 pm |
Dhuhr is solar noon at Aktobe, Kazakhstan, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Aktobe
From Aktobe, Kazakhstan the qibla is 211.7 degrees on a true compass, which is south-southwest, or 31.7 degrees east of due south. The Kaaba is 3,551 km away, 2,206 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Aktobe, Kazakhstan to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Aktobe, Kazakhstan before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
Put a Aktobe clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Aktobe, Kazakhstan, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Asia/Aqtobe from the time zone database, so it stays right when Aktobe changes its clocks, and it shows UTC+5 to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
