How Jayapura's prayer times are worked out

From Jayapura, the Qibla is 291° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 11,238 km (6,983 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Jayapura's own coordinates (2.53°S, 140.72°E), not a national average. That is why Jayapura's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Jayapura sits just 2.53°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 41m. The shortest is about 13h 22m. That is a swing of only 0h 19m between December and June. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Jayapura come from Kementerian Agama, Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs. The Kemenag method sets Fajr when the sun is 20° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. 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 Abepura, Timika and Merauke. Each is only a few minutes off Jayapura's clock.
