How Dayr Mawās's prayer times are worked out

From Dayr Mawās, the Qibla is 125° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,141 km (709 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Dayr Mawās's own coordinates (27.64°N, 30.85°E), not a national average. That is why Dayr Mawās's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Dayr Mawās timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 35m around June. It eases to 11h 54m by December. That is a 3h 41m swing, set by the city's latitude of 27.64°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Dayr Mawās 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. Dayr Mawās sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:55 PM. We also publish times for nearby Mallawī, Dayrūţ and Al Qūşīyah. Each is only a few minutes off Dayr Mawās's clock.
