How Damietta's prayer times are worked out

From Damietta, the Qibla is 142° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,367 km (849 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Damietta's own coordinates (31.42°N, 31.81°E), not a national average. That is why Damietta's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Damietta timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 00m around June. It eases to 11h 41m by December. That is a 4h 19m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.42°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Damietta 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. Damietta sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:51 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Dumyāţ al Jadīdah, Al Jammālīyah and Al Manzalah. Each is only a few minutes off Damietta's clock.
