Ouarzazate's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Morocco. They are drawn from Ouarzazate's own coordinates (30.9189°N, 6.8934°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ouarzazate's prayer times are worked out

From Ouarzazate, the Qibla is 91° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,745 km (2,949 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ouarzazate's own coordinates (30.92°N, 6.89°W), not a national average. That is why Ouarzazate's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ouarzazate timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ouarzazate lies well west inside its Casablanca time zone. So the sun peaks about 36 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:13 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 48m near June down to 11h 35m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ouarzazate 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 Marrakesh, El Kelaa des Srarhna and Souq Sebt Oulad Nemma. Each is only a few minutes off Ouarzazate's clock.
