Prayer Times in Bosaso, Somalia
Prayer times in Bosaso are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (11.28°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Somalia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Bosaso's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Somalia. They are drawn from Bosaso's own coordinates (11.2842°N, 49.1816°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Bosaso's prayer times are worked out
From Bosaso, the Qibla is 320° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,505 km (935 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bosaso's own coordinates (11.28°N, 49.18°E), not a national average. That is why Bosaso's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Bosaso timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 06m around June. It eases to 12h 43m by December. That is a 1h 23m swing, set by the city's latitude of 11.28°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Bosaso 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. Bosaso sits east of its Mogadishu meridian. The sun peaks about 8 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:28 AM. We also publish times for nearby El Dibir, Garoowe and Mukalla. Each is only a few minutes off Bosaso's clock.

Prayer times on the equator's edge
Somalia sits just north of the equator, with Mogadishu at barely 2°N. Day length therefore hardly moves across the year, and the five prayers keep one of the steadiest rhythms anywhere. Fajr, Maghrib and the rest shift by minutes, not hours, between seasons. The country keeps East Africa Time (UTC+3) year-round with no daylight saving. Religious affairs sit with the federal Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, while daily timetables come from local mosques. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Somali practice is almost entirely Shafi'i, so Asr follows the standard first-shadow reckoning.
Mogadishu's coral mosques
Mogadishu's old town holds one of the oldest mosques on the East African coast. The Fakhr al-Din Mosque in Hamar Weyne is dated by inscription to 1269 and attributed to Sultan Fakhr al-Din. It is built from coral block, with a marble mihrab. It is a reminder of the medieval sultanate that made the city an Indian Ocean trading power. The modern era answers it across town. The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity was built in 1987 with Saudi funding and holds some ten thousand worshippers. It is often cited as one of the largest mosques in the Horn of Africa. Closed through the civil war, it reopened in 2006 and remains the capital's great congregational mosque.
