Prayer Times in Al Balyanā, Egypt
Al Balyanāprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (26.2365°N, 32.0039°E) using the Egyptian calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Al Balyanā's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Al Balyanā prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Al Balyanā's prayer times are worked out
Al Balyanā sits 959 km (596 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 122° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Egypt follows the Egyptian method set by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey: Fajr begins when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17.5°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Al Balyanā. Measured with the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 26m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 59m in December: a swing of 3h 27m across the year. That spread is set by Al Balyanā's latitude (26.24°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
Al Balyanā sits close to the meridian of its Africa/Cairo time zone, so the sun peaks within 0 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 12:59 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Girga, Farshūţ, Nag Hammâdi — close enough that their times differ from Al Balyanā's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in Egypt
Egypt's prayer times follow the standard of the Egyptian General Authority of Survey — Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5° — which is the method used on this page and one of the oldest official calculation standards in the Muslim world. The Ministry of Awqaf administers mosques and imams, while Al-Azhar and Dar al-Ifta al-Misriyya carry the religious authority. Egypt is unusual in how centrally its mosques are run: the Ministry of Awqaf unified the Friday khutbah, so imams across the country deliver a sermon on a single ministry-set topic, with the text published by the ministry.
Cairo's mosques and the four schools
Egypt does not have one dominant madhab, and it is worth saying so plainly: Shafi'i has historically been strongest in Lower Egypt and Maliki in Upper Egypt, while Hanafi carries official and state standing inherited from the Ottoman period. Al-Azhar deliberately teaches all four Sunni schools. The mosques trace that whole history. The Mosque of Amr ibn al-As in Fustat, built in 641, was the first mosque in Egypt and among the first in Africa. Al-Azhar Mosque, completed in 972 under the Fatimids, was the first mosque of Cairo itself and grew into the institution that still anchors Sunni scholarship today.
