How Shibīn al Kawm's prayer times are worked out

From Shibīn al Kawm, the Qibla is 137° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,343 km (835 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Shibīn al Kawm's own coordinates (30.55°N, 31.01°E), not a national average. That is why Shibīn al Kawm's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Shibīn al Kawm 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 30.55°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Shibīn al Kawm 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. Shibīn al Kawm sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 1:01 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Birkat as Sab‘, Ash Shuhadā’ and Munūf. Each is only a few minutes off Shibīn al Kawm's clock.
