Būsh Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Būsh, Egypt

Prayer times in Būsh are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (29.15°N). We use the Egyptian method, the one followed across Egypt. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Būsh's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Būsh's own coordinates (29.1482°N, 31.1273°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Būsh's prayer times are worked out

From Būsh, the Qibla is 133° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,225 km (761 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Būsh's own coordinates (29.15°N, 31.13°E), not a national average. That is why Būsh's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Būsh timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 45m around June. It eases to 11h 49m by December. That is a 3h 56m swing, set by the city's latitude of 29.15°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Būsh 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. Būsh sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:54 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Banī Suwayf, Ihnāsīyah and Al Wāsiţah. Each is only a few minutes off Būsh's clock.
