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 — 12:56 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Armant, Qūş and Esna. Each is only a few minutes off Luxor's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Egypt
Egypt's prayer times follow the standard of the Egyptian General Authority of Survey: Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5°. That is the method used on this page, and one of the oldest official calculation standards in the Muslim world. The Ministry of Awqaf administers mosques and imams, while Al-Azhar and Dar al-Ifta al-Misriyya carry the religious authority. Egypt is unusual in how centrally its mosques are run. The Ministry of Awqaf unified the Friday khutbah, so imams across the country deliver a sermon on a single ministry-set topic. The ministry publishes the text.
Cairo's mosques and the four schools
Egypt does not have one dominant madhab, and it is worth saying so plainly. Shafi'i has historically been strongest in Lower Egypt, and Maliki in Upper Egypt. Hanafi carries official and state standing inherited from the Ottoman period. Al-Azhar deliberately teaches all four Sunni schools. The mosques trace that whole history. The Mosque of Amr ibn al-As in Fustat, built in 641, was the first mosque in Egypt and among the first in Africa. Al-Azhar Mosque was completed in 972 under the Fatimids, the first mosque of Cairo itself. It grew into the institution that still anchors Sunni scholarship today.
Mosques in Luxor
Mosques in and around Luxor include مسجد احمد نجم, مسجد سيدى ابو الحجاج الاقصري, Abu Ayad Mosque, مسجد الحاج منصور, Young Muslims Mosque and LX_NW_P002_MOSQUE001. The times on this page are worked out from Luxor's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
