How Beirut's prayer times are worked out

From Beirut, the Qibla is 162° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,450 km (901 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Beirut's own coordinates (33.89°N, 35.50°E), not a national average. That is why Beirut's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Beirut timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Beirut lies well east inside its Beirut time zone. So the sun peaks about 14 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:36 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 09m near June down to 11h 23m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Beirut 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 Aley, Jounieh and Zahlé. Each is only a few minutes off Beirut's clock.
