How Sidon's prayer times are worked out

From Sidon, the Qibla is 161° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,419 km (881 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sidon's own coordinates (33.56°N, 35.37°E), not a national average. That is why Sidon's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sidon timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sidon lies well east inside its Beirut time zone. So the sun peaks about 13 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:37 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 07m near June down to 11h 24m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sidon 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 Ghazieh, Habboûch and Nabatîyé et Tahta. Each is only a few minutes off Sidon's clock.
