How Minyā al Qamḩ's prayer times are worked out

From Minyā al Qamḩ, the Qibla is 138° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,318 km (819 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Minyā al Qamḩ's own coordinates (30.52°N, 31.35°E), not a national average. That is why Minyā al Qamḩ's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Minyā al Qamḩ timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 54m around June. It eases to 11h 44m by December. That is a 4h 10m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.52°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Minyā al Qamḩ 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. Minyā al Qamḩ sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:53 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Al Qanāyāt, Banhā and Zagazig. Each is only a few minutes off Minyā al Qamḩ's clock.
