Luxor Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Luxor, Egypt

Prayer times in Luxor are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (25.70°N). We use the Egyptian method, the one followed across Egypt. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Luxor's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Luxor's own coordinates (25.6989°N, 32.6421°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Luxor's prayer times are worked out

From Luxor, the Qibla is 122° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 873 km (542 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Luxor's own coordinates (25.70°N, 32.64°E), not a national average. That is why Luxor's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Luxor timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 24m around June. It eases to 12h 02m by December. That is a 3h 22m swing, set by the city's latitude of 25.70°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Luxor 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. Luxor sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:35 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Armant, Qūş and Esna. Each is only a few minutes off Luxor's clock.
