Prayer Times in ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid, Egypt

‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyidprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (31.1567°N, 30.1477°E) using the Egyptian calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid's prayer times are worked out

‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid sits 1,449 km (900 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 136° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Egypt follows the Egyptian method set by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey: Fajr begins when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17.5°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid. Measured with the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 59m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 41m in December: a swing of 4h 18m across the year. That spread is set by ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid's latitude (31.16°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Africa/Cairo time zone, the sun peaks about 8 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:07 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Kafr ad Dawwār, Abū Ḩummuş, Idkū — close enough that their times differ from ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid's by only a few minutes.
