How Port Said's prayer times are worked out

From Port Said, the Qibla is 144° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,326 km (824 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Port Said's own coordinates (31.27°N, 32.30°E), not a national average. That is why Port Said's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Port Said timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 00m around June. It eases to 11h 41m by December. That is a 4h 19m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.27°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Port Said come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Port Said sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:56 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Al Maţarīyah, Al Manzalah and Al Jammālīyah. Each is only a few minutes off Port Said's clock.
