Marrakesh's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Morocco. They are drawn from Marrakesh's own coordinates (31.6342°N, 7.9999°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Marrakesh's prayer times are worked out

From Marrakesh, the Qibla is 91° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,852 km (3,015 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Marrakesh's own coordinates (31.63°N, 8.00°W), not a national average. That is why Marrakesh's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Marrakesh timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Marrakesh lies well west inside its Casablanca time zone. So the sun peaks about 40 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:30 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 52m near June down to 11h 33m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Marrakesh 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 Ben Guerir, El Kelaa des Srarhna and Youssoufia. Each is only a few minutes off Marrakesh's clock.
