How El Achir's prayer times are worked out

From El Achir, the Qibla is 106° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,770 km (2,343 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from El Achir's own coordinates (36.06°N, 4.63°E), not a national average. That is why El Achir's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the El Achir timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. El Achir lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 50 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:40 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 27m near June down to 11h 15m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for El Achir 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 Bordj Bou Arreridj, M'Sila and Aïn Oulmene. Each is only a few minutes off El Achir's clock.
