How Abū Tīj's prayer times are worked out

From Abū Tīj, the Qibla is 124° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,065 km (662 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abū Tīj's own coordinates (27.05°N, 31.32°E), not a national average. That is why Abū Tīj's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Abū Tīj timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 32m around June. It eases to 11h 57m by December. That is a 3h 35m swing, set by the city's latitude of 27.05°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abū Tīj 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 Tīj sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:53 PM today. We also publish times for nearby As Sāḩil, Al Badārī and Al Ghanāyim. Each is only a few minutes off Abū Tīj's clock.
