Hihyā Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Hihyā, Egypt

Hihyā's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Hihyā's own coordinates (30.6713°N, 31.5880°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Hihyā's prayer times are worked out

From Hihyā, the Qibla is 139° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,316 km (818 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Hihyā's own coordinates (30.67°N, 31.59°E), not a national average. That is why Hihyā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Hihyā timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 55m around June. It eases to 11h 44m by December. That is a 4h 11m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.67°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Hihyā 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. Hihyā sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:52 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Al Ibrāhīmīyah, Abū Kabīr and Zagazig. Each is only a few minutes off Hihyā's clock.
