How Maghāghah's prayer times are worked out

From Maghāghah, the Qibla is 130° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,209 km (752 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Maghāghah's own coordinates (28.65°N, 30.84°E), not a national average. That is why Maghāghah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Maghāghah timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 42m around June. It eases to 11h 50m by December. That is a 3h 52m swing, set by the city's latitude of 28.65°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Maghāghah 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. Maghāghah sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:55 PM. We also publish times for nearby Banī Mazār, Al Fashn and Maţāy. Each is only a few minutes off Maghāghah's clock.
