How Béchar's prayer times are worked out

From Béchar, the Qibla is 95° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,306 km (2,675 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Béchar's own coordinates (31.62°N, 2.22°W), not a national average. That is why Béchar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Béchar timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Béchar lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 77 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:07 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 52m near June down to 11h 33m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Béchar 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 Errachidia, Midelt and Mecheria. Each is only a few minutes off Béchar's clock.
