How Kom Ombo's prayer times are worked out

From Kom Ombo, the Qibla is 114° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 782 km (486 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kom Ombo's own coordinates (24.48°N, 32.95°E), not a national average. That is why Kom Ombo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Kom Ombo timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 17m around June. It eases to 12h 06m by December. That is a 3h 11m swing, set by the city's latitude of 24.48°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kom Ombo come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Kom Ombo sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:53 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Darāw, Aswān and Edfu. Each is only a few minutes off Kom Ombo's clock.
