How Bir el Ater's prayer times are worked out

From Bir el Ater, the Qibla is 107° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,430 km (2,132 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bir el Ater's own coordinates (34.74°N, 8.06°E), not a national average. That is why Bir el Ater's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bir el Ater timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bir el Ater lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 36 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:13 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 16m near June down to 11h 20m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bir el Ater 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 Cheria, Tébessa and Gafsa. Each is only a few minutes off Bir el Ater's clock.
