How Antakya's prayer times are worked out

From Antakya, the Qibla is 167° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,682 km (1,045 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Antakya's own coordinates (36.21°N, 36.16°E), not a national average. That is why Antakya's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Antakya timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Antakya lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 44 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:34 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 28m near June down to 11h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Antakya come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. 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 Samandağ, Arsuz and Kırıkhan. Each is only a few minutes off Antakya's clock.
