How Ash Shuhadā’'s prayer times are worked out

From Ash Shuhadā’, the Qibla is 137° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,354 km (841 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ash Shuhadā’'s own coordinates (30.60°N, 30.90°E), not a national average. That is why Ash Shuhadā’'s times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Ash Shuhadā’ timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 55m around June. It eases to 11h 43m by December. That is a 4h 12m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.60°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ash Shuhadā’ 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. Ash Shuhadā’ sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:55 PM. We also publish times for nearby Talā, Shibīn al Kawm and Munūf. Each is only a few minutes off Ash Shuhadā’'s clock.
