Quwaysinā's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Quwaysinā's own coordinates (30.5648°N, 31.1578°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Quwaysinā's prayer times are worked out

From Quwaysinā, the Qibla is 138° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,335 km (829 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Quwaysinā's own coordinates (30.56°N, 31.16°E), not a national average. That is why Quwaysinā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Quwaysinā timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 55m around June. It eases to 11h 44m by December. That is a 4h 11m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.56°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Quwaysinā 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. Quwaysinā sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:41 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Birkat as Sab‘, Banhā and Shibīn al Kawm. Each is only a few minutes off Quwaysinā's clock.
