Prayer Times in Damanhur, Egypt

Damanhur's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Damanhur's own coordinates (31.0341°N, 30.4682°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Damanhur's prayer times are worked out

From Damanhur, the Qibla is 137° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,418 km (881 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Damanhur's own coordinates (31.03°N, 30.47°E), not a national average. That is why Damanhur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Damanhur timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 58m around June. It eases to 11h 42m by December. That is a 4h 16m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.03°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Damanhur 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. Damanhur sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 7 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:56 PM. We also publish times for nearby Abū Ḩummuş, Disūq and Fuwwah. Each is only a few minutes off Damanhur's clock.
