How Al Balyanā's prayer times are worked out

From Al Balyanā, the Qibla is 122° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 959 km (596 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Balyanā's own coordinates (26.24°N, 32.00°E), not a national average. That is why Al Balyanā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Al Balyanā timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 26m around June. It eases to 11h 59m by December. That is a 3h 27m swing, set by the city's latitude of 26.24°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Balyanā 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. Al Balyanā sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:50 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Girga, Farshūţ and Nag Hammâdi. Each is only a few minutes off Al Balyanā's clock.
