How Blida's prayer times are worked out

From Blida, the Qibla is 105° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,938 km (2,447 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Blida's own coordinates (36.47°N, 2.83°E), not a national average. That is why Blida's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Blida timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Blida lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 57 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:54 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 30m near June down to 11h 13m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Blida 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 Beni Mered, Boufarik and Kolea. Each is only a few minutes off Blida's clock.
