How Ghardaïa's prayer times are worked out

From Ghardaïa, the Qibla is 100° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,767 km (2,341 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ghardaïa's own coordinates (32.49°N, 3.67°E), not a national average. That is why Ghardaïa's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ghardaïa timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ghardaïa lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 54 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:44 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 59m near June down to 11h 29m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ghardaïa 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 Guerara, Laghouat and Ouargla. Each is only a few minutes off Ghardaïa's clock.
