How Koulikoro's prayer times are worked out

From Koulikoro, the Qibla is 73° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,105 km (3,172 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Koulikoro's own coordinates (12.86°N, 7.56°W), not a national average. That is why Koulikoro's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Koulikoro timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Koulikoro lies well west inside its Bamako time zone. So the sun peaks about 39 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:28 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 13m near June down to 12h 38m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Koulikoro 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 Dialakorodji, Bamako and Kati. Each is only a few minutes off Koulikoro's clock.
