How Nizwá's prayer times are worked out

From Nizwá, the Qibla is 268° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,830 km (1,137 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Nizwá's own coordinates (22.93°N, 57.53°E), not a national average. That is why Nizwá's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Nizwá timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Nizwá lies well west inside its Muscat time zone. So the sun peaks about 17 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:07 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 02m near June down to 12h 07m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Nizwá come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. 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 Bahlā’, Rustaq and Samā’il. Each is only a few minutes off Nizwá's clock.
