How Bobo-Dioulasso's prayer times are worked out

From Bobo-Dioulasso, the Qibla is 71° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,827 km (3,000 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bobo-Dioulasso's own coordinates (11.18°N, 4.29°W), not a national average. That is why Bobo-Dioulasso's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bobo-Dioulasso timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bobo-Dioulasso lies well west inside its Ouagadougou time zone. So the sun peaks about 26 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:15 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 05m near June down to 12h 44m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bobo-Dioulasso 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 Banfora, Houndé and Sikasso. Each is only a few minutes off Bobo-Dioulasso's clock.
