How Bir el Djir's prayer times are worked out

From Bir el Djir, the Qibla is 101° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,215 km (2,619 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bir el Djir's own coordinates (35.72°N, 0.55°W), not a national average. That is why Bir el Djir's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bir el Djir timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bir el Djir lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 71 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:01 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 23m near June down to 11h 16m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bir el Djir 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 Assi Bou Nif, En Nedjma and Oran. Each is only a few minutes off Bir el Djir's clock.
