Siguiri Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Siguiri, Guinea

Siguiriprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (11.4228°N, 9.1685°W) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Guinea. 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 Siguiri'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 Siguiri prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Siguiri's prayer times are worked out

Siguiri sits 5,321 km (3,306 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 71° from true north — you face east to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Guinea 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 Siguiri. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 06m around June, while the shortest is roughly 12h 43m in December: a swing of 1h 23m across the year. That spread is set by Siguiri's latitude (11.42°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Siguiri does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Africa/Conakry time zone, the sun peaks about 45 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:44 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Kankan, Kalaban Koro, Kita — close enough that their times differ from Siguiri's by only a few minutes.
