How El Oued's prayer times are worked out

From El Oued, the Qibla is 104° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,496 km (2,172 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from El Oued's own coordinates (33.36°N, 6.86°E), not a national average. That is why El Oued's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the El Oued timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. El Oued lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 41 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:18 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 05m near June down to 11h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for El Oued 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 Touggourt, Bir el Ater and Biskra. Each is only a few minutes off El Oued's clock.
