Djibouti Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Djibouti, Djibouti

Prayer times in Djibouti are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (11.59°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Djibouti. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Djibouti's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Djibouti. They are drawn from Djibouti's own coordinates (11.5890°N, 43.1450°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Djibouti's prayer times are worked out

From Djibouti, the Qibla is 343° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,149 km (714 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Djibouti's own coordinates (11.59°N, 43.15°E), not a national average. That is why Djibouti's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Djibouti timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Djibouti lies well west inside its Djibouti time zone. So the sun peaks about 16 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:14 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 06m near June down to 12h 43m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Djibouti 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 Ali Sabih, Ruqi and Borama. Each is only a few minutes off Djibouti's clock.
