Prayer Times in Oran, Algeria
Oranprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (35.6991°N, 0.6359°W) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Algeria. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Oran's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Oran prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Oran's prayer times are worked out
Oran sits 4,222 km (2,624 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 101° from true north — you face east to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Algeria follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Oran. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 24m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 16m in December: a swing of 5h 08m across the year. That spread is set by Oran's latitude (35.70°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Oran does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Africa/Algiers time zone, the sun peaks about 71 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:10 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are En Nedjma, Bir el Djir, Assi Bou Nif — close enough that their times differ from Oran's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in Algeria
Algeria's mosque framework is set by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Wakfs, whose lunar-crescent committee is the only body competent to fix the start of the Hijri months — so Ramadan and Eid are declared nationally by sighting. The calculation commonly associated with Algeria uses a Fajr angle of 18° and an Isha angle of 17°. Algeria is a Maliki country, so Asr is called at the first shadow rather than the later Hanafi second-shadow time.
Djamaa el Djazaïr
Algiers is home to Djamaa el Djazaïr, the Great Mosque of Algiers, inaugurated in February 2024 and now the third-largest mosque in the world after the sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina. Its prayer hall holds around 37,000 worshippers and the wider compound as many as 120,000. Its minaret is the tallest in the world at 265 metres and contains a museum of Islamic culture inside the tower itself — a landmark visible across the bay of Algiers.
