Oran's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Algeria. They are drawn from Oran's own coordinates (35.6991°N, 0.6359°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Oran's prayer times are worked out

From Oran, the Qibla is 101° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,222 km (2,624 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Oran's own coordinates (35.70°N, 0.64°W), not a national average. That is why Oran's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Oran timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Oran lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 71 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:07 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 24m near June down to 11h 16m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Oran 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 En Nedjma, Bir el Djir and Assi Bou Nif. Each is only a few minutes off Oran's clock.
