How Abū Kabīr's prayer times are worked out

From Abū Kabīr, the Qibla is 140° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,316 km (817 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abū Kabīr's own coordinates (30.73°N, 31.67°E), not a national average. That is why Abū Kabīr's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Abū Kabīr timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 56m around June. It eases to 11h 43m by December. That is a 4h 13m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.73°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abū Kabīr come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Abū Kabīr sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:52 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Hihyā, Al Ibrāhīmīyah and Fāqūs. Each is only a few minutes off Abū Kabīr's clock.
