New Cairo Prayer Times

Prayer Times in New Cairo, Egypt

New Cairo's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from New Cairo's own coordinates (30.0300°N, 31.4700°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How New Cairo's prayer times are worked out

From New Cairo, the Qibla is 137° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,271 km (789 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from New Cairo's own coordinates (30.03°N, 31.47°E), not a national average. That is why New Cairo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the New Cairo timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 51m around June. It eases to 11h 46m by December. That is a 4h 05m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.03°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for New Cairo 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. New Cairo sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 1:00 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Madīnat an Naşr, El Shorouk and Ḩadā’iq al Qubbah. Each is only a few minutes off New Cairo's clock.
