How Ech Chettia's prayer times are worked out

From Ech Chettia, the Qibla is 103° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,067 km (2,527 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ech Chettia's own coordinates (36.20°N, 1.26°E), not a national average. That is why Ech Chettia's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ech Chettia timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ech Chettia lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 63 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:53 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 28m near June down to 11h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ech Chettia 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 Chlef, Oued Rhiou and Aïn Defla. Each is only a few minutes off Ech Chettia's clock.
