How the Islamic Calendar Operates in Uruguay

In Uruguay, the **Centro Islámico del Uruguay (CIU)**, located in the capital of Montevideo, coordinates the Islamic calendar for local Muslims and the border community in Chuy.

At a Glance: The Uruguay Calendar in 3 Key Points

Centro Islámico del Uruguay: Established to provide religious guidance, Friday prayers, and halal supervision across the country.
Chuy Border Community: The international border city of Chuy (divided down the main street from Brazil) hosts an active Arab-Uruguayan community.
Río de la Plata & Atlantic Coastline: The 22-kilometer Rambla de Montevideo promenade offers uninterrupted water horizons for sighting the crescent.

The Montevideo Sighting Gathering

Observers from the Centro Islámico gather along the coastal Rambla of Montevideo overlooking the Río de la Plata estuary on the 29th of each lunar month.

Southern Atlantic Horizon Conditions

Because the estuary is over 100 kilometers wide at Montevideo, observers enjoy an oceanic horizon view looking west-southwest.

Day Transition Dynamics

The civil calendar updates at 12:00 AM midnight Uruguay Time (UYT, America/Montevideo, UTC-3), while religious observance begins at sunset with the Maghrib prayer.
