How Jounieh's prayer times are worked out

From Jounieh, the Qibla is 162° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,456 km (905 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Jounieh's own coordinates (33.98°N, 35.62°E), not a national average. That is why Jounieh's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Jounieh timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Jounieh lies well east inside its Beirut time zone. So the sun peaks about 14 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:36 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 10m near June down to 11h 23m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Jounieh 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 Beirut, Aley and Zahlé. Each is only a few minutes off Jounieh's clock.
