How Bahir Dar's prayer times are worked out

From Bahir Dar, the Qibla is 13° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,123 km (698 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bahir Dar's own coordinates (11.59°N, 37.39°E), not a national average. That is why Bahir Dar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bahir Dar timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bahir Dar lies well west inside its Addis Ababa 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 06m near June down to 12h 43m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bahir Dar 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 Dangila, Debre Tabor and Mot’a. Each is only a few minutes off Bahir Dar's clock.
