Prayer Times in Keur Médoune, Senegal
Keur Médouneprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (14.7584°N, 15.9043°W) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Senegal. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Keur Médoune's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Keur Médoune prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Keur Médoune's prayer times are worked out
Keur Médoune sits 5,908 km (3,671 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 74° from true north — you face east to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Senegal follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Keur Médoune. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 21m around June, while the shortest is roughly 12h 32m in December: a swing of 1h 49m across the year. That spread is set by Keur Médoune's latitude (14.76°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Keur Médoune does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Africa/Dakar time zone, the sun peaks about 72 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:11 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Mbaké, Touba, Tiébo — close enough that their times differ from Keur Médoune's by only a few minutes.
The country of the brotherhoods
Senegal — about 97% Muslim — practises Islam like nowhere else: nearly all Senegalese Muslims belong to a Sufi order, a higher share than any Muslim population in the world, with the Tijaniyya counting the most adherents and the Mourides the most tightly organised. Ramadan and Korité dates are fixed nationally by CONACOC, the moon-sighting commission that works with imams and the religious families, while daily times come from mosques; this page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. One quirk matters here: Dakar sits at 17.4°W on a GMT clock, so solar noon comes about seventy minutes after clock noon — Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib all fall 'late' by the clock, and this page's per-city calculation captures that exactly.
Touba: Africa's great pilgrimage city
The Great Mosque of Touba, completed in 1963 above the tomb of Mouride founder Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, its central minaret rising 96 metres, is the spiritual capital of Senegal — and once a year the Grand Magal pilgrimage turns the city into one of the largest gatherings in the Muslim world, with organisers reporting over six million pilgrims. Dakar answered in 2019 with Massalikoul Djinane, the Mouride-financed mosque often described as West Africa's largest, its five 80-metre minarets visible across the capital. Faith here is public, sung, and processional — and it runs on the same five times this page computes.
