How Al Shamkhah City's prayer times are worked out

From Al Shamkhah City, the Qibla is 261° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,559 km (969 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Shamkhah City's own coordinates (24.39°N, 54.71°E), not a national average. That is why Al Shamkhah City's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Al Shamkhah City timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al Shamkhah City lies well west inside its Dubai time zone. So the sun peaks about 32 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:22 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 11m near June down to 12h 03m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Shamkhah City come from the Dubai Awqaf authority. The Dubai method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.2° below the horizon, and Isha at 18.2°. 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 Khalifah A City, Bani Yas City and Mohammed Bin Zayed City. Each is only a few minutes off Al Shamkhah City's clock.
