How Aswān's prayer times are worked out

From Aswān, the Qibla is 111° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 770 km (478 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Aswān's own coordinates (24.09°N, 32.90°E), not a national average. That is why Aswān's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Aswān timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 14m around June. It eases to 12h 07m by December. That is a 3h 07m swing, set by the city's latitude of 24.09°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Aswān 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. Aswān sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:53 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Darāw, Kom Ombo and Edfu. Each is only a few minutes off Aswān's clock.
