Prayer Times in Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast

Prayer times in Grand-Bassam are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (5.21°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Ivory Coast. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Grand-Bassam's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Ivory Coast. They are drawn from Grand-Bassam's own coordinates (5.2118°N, 3.7388°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Grand-Bassam's prayer times are worked out

From Grand-Bassam, the Qibla is 65° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,023 km (3,121 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Grand-Bassam's own coordinates (5.21°N, 3.74°W), not a national average. That is why Grand-Bassam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Grand-Bassam sits just 5.21°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 42m. The shortest is about 13h 05m. That is a swing of only 0h 37m 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 Grand-Bassam 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 Bingerville, Koumassi and Marcory. Each is only a few minutes off Grand-Bassam's clock.

COSIM and the harmonised times of Côte d'Ivoire

Ivory Coast has an unusually clear answer to who sets prayer times. COSIM, the Superior Council of Imams, Mosques and Islamic Affairs, was founded in Abidjan in 1988. It counts the harmonisation of prayer times and Ramadan dates among its founding missions. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Muslims are the country's largest religious group, at 42.5% in the 2021 census. They are overwhelmingly Sunni Maliki, so the standard Asr shown here is the live convention. The clock is GMT year-round, with no daylight saving. Abidjan's near-equatorial latitude keeps day length almost constant, so Fajr and Maghrib drift by minutes, not hours, across the year.

From the Plateau's minaret to Yamoussoukro

Abidjan's skyline gained its most striking Islamic landmark in 2024: the Mohammed VI Mosque in Treichville, a gift of the Moroccan king. Its 25,000-square-metre complex is described as the country's largest. The Salam Mosque of the Plateau, completed in 2012 with its 65-metre minaret, anchors the business district. In Yamoussoukro, the political capital, the Grand Mosque faces the enormous basilica across the lagoon — a study in the country's religious coexistence. Abidjan sits about 4°W, so solar noon runs roughly a quarter-hour behind clock noon on average. Dhuhr here falls later on the clock than travellers from the east expect.

Mosques in Grand-Bassam

Mosques in and around Grand-Bassam include A.J.MCI, Mosquée La Guidance, Mosquée Sylla, Mosquée Sénégalaise and Grande Mosquée de Grand-Bassam. The times on this page are worked out from Grand-Bassam's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
