How Debre Mark’os's prayer times are worked out

From Debre Mark’os, the Qibla is 10° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,251 km (778 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Debre Mark’os's own coordinates (10.35°N, 37.73°E), not a national average. That is why Debre Mark’os's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Debre Mark’os timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Debre Mark’os lies well west inside its Addis Ababa time zone. So the sun peaks about 38 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:27 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 02m near June down to 12h 47m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Debre Mark’os come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Finote Selam, Mot’a and Fichē. Each is only a few minutes off Debre Mark’os's clock.
