Abū Qurqāş's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Abū Qurqāş's own coordinates (27.9304°N, 30.8383°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Abū Qurqāş's prayer times are worked out

From Abū Qurqāş, the Qibla is 127° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,160 km (721 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abū Qurqāş's own coordinates (27.93°N, 30.84°E), not a national average. That is why Abū Qurqāş's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Abū Qurqāş timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 37m around June. It eases to 11h 53m by December. That is a 3h 44m swing, set by the city's latitude of 27.93°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abū Qurqāş 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 Qurqāş sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:55 PM. We also publish times for nearby Minya, Mallawī and Dayr Mawās. Each is only a few minutes off Abū Qurqāş's clock.
