How Marsá Maţrūḩ's prayer times are worked out

From Marsá Maţrūḩ, the Qibla is 128° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,668 km (1,037 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Marsá Maţrūḩ's own coordinates (31.35°N, 27.24°E), not a national average. That is why Marsá Maţrūḩ's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Marsá Maţrūḩ timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Marsá Maţrūḩ lies well west inside its Cairo time zone. So the sun peaks about 20 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:09 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 01m near June down to 11h 40m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Marsá Maţrūḩ 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. We also publish times for nearby Alexandria, Kafr ad Dawwār and ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid. Each is only a few minutes off Marsá Maţrūḩ's clock.
