How Al Burj's prayer times are worked out

From Al Burj, the Qibla is 140° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,431 km (889 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Burj's own coordinates (31.58°N, 30.98°E), not a national average. That is why Al Burj's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Al Burj timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 02m around June. It eases to 11h 40m by December. That is a 4h 22m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.58°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Burj 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 Burj sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:54 PM. We also publish times for nearby Balţīm, Al Ḩāmūl and Biyalā. Each is only a few minutes off Al Burj's clock.
