Prayer Times in Samālūţ, Egypt

Samālūţ's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Samālūţ's own coordinates (28.3121°N, 30.7101°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Samālūţ's prayer times are worked out

From Samālūţ, the Qibla is 128° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,196 km (743 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Samālūţ's own coordinates (28.31°N, 30.71°E), not a national average. That is why Samālūţ's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Samālūţ timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 39m around June. It eases to 11h 52m by December. That is a 3h 47m swing, set by the city's latitude of 28.31°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Samālūţ 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. Samālūţ sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 6 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:42 PM. We also publish times for nearby Maţāy, Banī Mazār and Minya. Each is only a few minutes off Samālūţ's clock.
