How Hurghada's prayer times are worked out

From Hurghada, the Qibla is 136° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 890 km (553 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Hurghada's own coordinates (27.26°N, 33.81°E), not a national average. That is why Hurghada's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Hurghada timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 32m around June. It eases to 11h 55m by December. That is a 3h 37m swing, set by the city's latitude of 27.26°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Hurghada 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. Hurghada sits east of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 7 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:43 PM. We also publish times for nearby Safaga, Sharm el-Sheikh and Qina. Each is only a few minutes off Hurghada's clock.
