How Houmt Souk's prayer times are worked out

From Houmt Souk, the Qibla is 108° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,156 km (1,961 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Houmt Souk's own coordinates (33.88°N, 10.86°E), not a national average. That is why Houmt Souk's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Houmt Souk timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Houmt Souk lies well west inside its Tunis time zone. So the sun peaks about 25 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:15 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 09m near June down to 11h 24m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Houmt Souk 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 El Mgarsa, Zarzis and Medenine. Each is only a few minutes off Houmt Souk's clock.
