How Nag Hammâdi's prayer times are worked out

From Nag Hammâdi, the Qibla is 122° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 927 km (576 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Nag Hammâdi's own coordinates (26.05°N, 32.24°E), not a national average. That is why Nag Hammâdi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Nag Hammâdi timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 26m around June. It eases to 12h 00m by December. That is a 3h 26m swing, set by the city's latitude of 26.05°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Nag Hammâdi 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. Nag Hammâdi sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:49 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Farshūţ, Dishnā and Al Balyanā. Each is only a few minutes off Nag Hammâdi's clock.
