Al Ḩawāmidīyah's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Al Ḩawāmidīyah's own coordinates (29.9000°N, 31.2500°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Al Ḩawāmidīyah's prayer times are worked out

From Al Ḩawāmidīyah, the Qibla is 136° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,275 km (792 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Ḩawāmidīyah's own coordinates (29.90°N, 31.25°E), not a national average. That is why Al Ḩawāmidīyah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Al Ḩawāmidīyah timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 50m around June. It eases to 11h 46m by December. That is a 4h 04m swing, set by the city's latitude of 29.90°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

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