Fāqūs Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Fāqūs, Egypt

Prayer times in Fāqūs are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (30.73°N). We use the Egyptian method, the one followed across Egypt. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Fāqūs's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Fāqūs's own coordinates (30.7282°N, 31.7970°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Fāqūs's prayer times are worked out

From Fāqūs, the Qibla is 140° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,308 km (813 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Fāqūs's own coordinates (30.73°N, 31.80°E), not a national average. That is why Fāqūs's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Fāqūs timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 56m around June. It eases to 11h 43m by December. That is a 4h 13m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.73°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Fāqūs come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Fāqūs sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:51 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Abū Kabīr, Al Qurayn and Aş Şāliḩīyah al Jadīdah. Each is only a few minutes off Fāqūs's clock.
