How Ksar's prayer times are worked out

From Ksar, the Qibla is 77° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,819 km (3,616 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ksar's own coordinates (18.10°N, 15.96°W), not a national average. That is why Ksar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ksar timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ksar lies well west inside its Nouakchott time zone. So the sun peaks about 72 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:02 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 35m near June down to 12h 20m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ksar 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 Nouakchott, Dar Naim and Richard-Toll. Each is only a few minutes off Ksar's clock.
