Prayer Times in Bibā, Egypt

Bibā's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Bibā's own coordinates (28.9241°N, 30.9854°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Bibā's prayer times are worked out

From Bibā, the Qibla is 131° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,219 km (757 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bibā's own coordinates (28.92°N, 30.99°E), not a national average. That is why Bibā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Bibā timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 44m around June. It eases to 11h 50m by December. That is a 3h 54m swing, set by the city's latitude of 28.92°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bibā 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. Bibā sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:54 PM. We also publish times for nearby Sumusţā al Waqf, Al Fashn and Ihnāsīyah. Each is only a few minutes off Bibā's clock.
