Prayer Times in Kankan, Guinea
Prayer times in Kankan are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (10.39°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Guinea. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Kankan's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Guinea. They are drawn from Kankan's own coordinates (10.3854°N, 9.3057°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Kankan's prayer times are worked out
From Kankan, the Qibla is 70° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,373 km (3,339 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kankan's own coordinates (10.39°N, 9.31°W), not a national average. That is why Kankan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Kankan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kankan lies well west inside its Conakry time zone. So the sun peaks about 46 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:35 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 02m near June down to 12h 47m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Kankan 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 Siguiri, Kissidougou and Faranah. Each is only a few minutes off Kankan's clock.

Who oversees prayer in Guinea
Guinea's religious life is coordinated by the Secretariat General of Religious Affairs, a government body dating to 1977. It manages worship, pilgrimage and the public confirmation of Ramadan and Eid dates. About 85% of Guineans are Muslim, mostly Sunni in the Maliki tradition, with strong Qadiri and Tijani Sufi currents. The standard Asr shown here therefore matches local practice. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Guinea keeps GMT year-round. Conakry at 13.7°W sees solar noon nearly an hour after clock noon, so sun-based times run 'late' by the clock. The per-city calculation here absorbs that automatically.
The Grand Mosque of Conakry
The Grand Mosque of Conakry opened in 1982 under President Sékou Touré, built with Saudi funding. It holds some 12,500 worshippers inside and ranks among the largest mosques in West Africa. Its gardens hold the Camayanne Mausoleum, the resting place of national heroes including Samori Touré and Sékou Touré himself. Conakry sits close to the equator at 9.5°N, so day length stays steady across the year. Ramadan's fasting hours barely change whether it falls in June or December. At European latitudes they swing much more widely. The five daily prayers structure Guinean days, from the capital's corniche mosques to the highland towns of Fouta Djallon. That region is a historic heartland of West African Islamic scholarship.
