Addis Ababa's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Ethiopia. They are drawn from Addis Ababa's own coordinates (9.0250°N, 38.7469°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Addis Ababa's prayer times are worked out

From Addis Ababa, the Qibla is 5° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,383 km (860 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Addis Ababa's own coordinates (9.03°N, 38.75°E), not a national average. That is why Addis Ababa's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Addis Ababa sits just 9.03°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 56m. The shortest is about 12h 51m. That is a swing of only 1h 05m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Addis Ababa come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Burayu, Sebeta and Bishoftu. Each is only a few minutes off Addis Ababa's clock.
