How Gambēla's prayer times are worked out

From Gambēla, the Qibla is 20° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,569 km (975 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Gambēla's own coordinates (8.25°N, 34.58°E), not a national average. That is why Gambēla's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Gambēla sits just 8.25°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 54m. The shortest is about 12h 54m. That is a swing of only 1h 00m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Gambēla 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 Dembī Dolo, Metu and Tēpī. Each is only a few minutes off Gambēla's clock.
