How Dougnane's prayer times are worked out

From Dougnane, the Qibla is 74° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,002 km (3,730 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Dougnane's own coordinates (14.96°N, 16.87°W), not a national average. That is why Dougnane's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Dougnane timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Dougnane lies well west inside its Dakar time zone. So the sun peaks about 76 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:05 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 21m near June down to 12h 31m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Dougnane 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 Tivaouane, Thiès and Thiès Nones. Each is only a few minutes off Dougnane's clock.
