Prayer Times in Sidon, Lebanon
Sidonprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (33.5575°N, 35.3715°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Lebanon. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Sidon's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Sidon prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Sidon's prayer times are worked out
Sidon sits 1,419 km (881 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 161° from true north — you face south to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Lebanon follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Sidon. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 07m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 24m in December: a swing of 4h 43m across the year. That spread is set by Sidon's latitude (33.56°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Sidon does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well east within its Asia/Beirut time zone, the sun peaks about 13 minutes before clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:46 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Ghazieh, Habboûch, Nabatîyé et Tahta — close enough that their times differ from Sidon's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in Lebanon
Lebanon has no single national timetable. For Sunnis, Dar al-Fatwa — the office of the Grand Mufti — is the official religious authority, while the Higher Islamic Shia Council serves the country's large Twelver Shia community. Sunni timetables commonly follow Muslim World League angles (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°), the basis this page applies. Lebanon's Muslim population is split roughly evenly between Sunnis and Shia. That matters for prayer times: Shia (Ja'fari) practice delays Maghrib until the redness after sunset has passed, and permits combining Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha — so a Shia timetable differs from the Sunni one shown here.
The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque
The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque in downtown Beirut, inaugurated in 2008, is the city's largest and best-known mosque — the "Blue Mosque," with a capacity of several thousand. It stands directly beside the St. George Maronite Cathedral, and in the heart of Beirut the call to prayer regularly sounds alongside church bells: a compact, visible emblem of Lebanon's Muslim–Christian coexistence.
