Basyūn's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Basyūn's own coordinates (30.9398°N, 30.8134°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Basyūn's prayer times are worked out

From Basyūn, the Qibla is 138° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,388 km (862 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Basyūn's own coordinates (30.94°N, 30.81°E), not a national average. That is why Basyūn's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Basyūn timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 57m around June. It eases to 11h 42m by December. That is a 4h 15m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.94°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Basyūn 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. Basyūn 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 Kafr az Zayyāt, Ītāy al Bārūd and Kafr ash Shaykh. Each is only a few minutes off Basyūn's clock.
