How Arlit's prayer times are worked out

From Arlit, the Qibla is 79° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,395 km (2,110 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Arlit's own coordinates (18.74°N, 7.39°E), not a national average. That is why Arlit's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Arlit timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Arlit lies well west inside its Niamey time zone. So the sun peaks about 39 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:29 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 39m near June down to 12h 19m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Arlit come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League 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 Alaghsas, Agadez and Tahoua. Each is only a few minutes off Arlit's clock.
