Prayer Times in Darāw, Egypt

Darāw's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Darāw's own coordinates (24.4080°N, 32.9232°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Darāw's prayer times are worked out

From Darāw, the Qibla is 114° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 781 km (485 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Darāw's own coordinates (24.41°N, 32.92°E), not a national average. That is why Darāw's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Darāw timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 16m around June. It eases to 12h 06m by December. That is a 3h 10m swing, set by the city's latitude of 24.41°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Darāw 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. Darāw sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:47 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Kom Ombo, Aswān and Edfu. Each is only a few minutes off Darāw's clock.
