How Kelaa Kebira's prayer times are worked out
From Kelaa Kebira, the Qibla is 112° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,260 km (2,026 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kelaa Kebira's own coordinates (35.87°N, 10.54°E), not a national average. That is why Kelaa Kebira's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Kelaa Kebira timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kelaa Kebira lies well west inside its Tunis time zone. So the sun peaks about 26 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:03 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 26m near June down to 11h 16m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Kelaa Kebira 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 Sousse, Msaken and Skanes. Each is only a few minutes off Kelaa Kebira's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Tunisia
Tunisian prayer times are administered by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which oversees the country's mosques and the Ramadan calendar. The calculation on this page is the Muslim World League convention (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°), applied to this city's own coordinates. That is the standard used across the Maghreb. Tunisia keeps UTC+1 year-round, with no daylight saving. The clock relationship between prayer times and the working day therefore stays consistent across seasons. Only the sun itself moves — stretching Isha late into summer evenings, and pulling Maghrib before six in midwinter.
Zaytuna and Kairouan: a millennium of scholarship
Tunisia holds two of the most consequential mosques in Islamic history. The Great Mosque of Kairouan was founded by Uqba ibn Nafi in 670 and rebuilt in its present form in the ninth century. It is the oldest mosque in the Maghreb and the model from which the region's architecture descends. Kairouan's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the capital, the Zaytuna Mosque anchors the Tunis medina. It taught for over a thousand years, as one of the Islamic world's great centres of learning. It counts Ibn Khaldun among the students of its tradition.
