How El Dibir's prayer times are worked out

From El Dibir, the Qibla is 313° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,619 km (1,006 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from El Dibir's own coordinates (11.77°N, 51.22°E), not a national average. That is why El Dibir's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the El Dibir timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. El Dibir lies well east inside its Mogadishu time zone. So the sun peaks about 16 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:34 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 07m near June down to 12h 42m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for El Dibir 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 Bosaso, Mukalla and Garoowe. Each is only a few minutes off El Dibir's clock.
