How Niamey's prayer times are worked out

From Niamey, the Qibla is 72° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,085 km (2,538 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Niamey's own coordinates (13.51°N, 2.11°E), not a national average. That is why Niamey's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Niamey timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Niamey lies well west inside its Niamey time zone. So the sun peaks about 60 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:57 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 15m near June down to 12h 37m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Niamey 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 Dosso, Dogondoutchi and Fada N'gourma. Each is only a few minutes off Niamey's clock.
