It eases to 11h 44m by December. That is a 4h 11m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.63°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Birkat as Sab‘ 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.
