How Kaédi's prayer times are worked out

From Kaédi, the Qibla is 75° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,619 km (3,492 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kaédi's own coordinates (16.15°N, 13.51°W), not a national average. That is why Kaédi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kaédi timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kaédi lies well west inside its Nouakchott time zone. So the sun peaks about 62 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:52 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 27m near June down to 12h 27m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kaédi 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 Kiffa, Richard-Toll and Tambacounda. Each is only a few minutes off Kaédi's clock.
