How Talā's prayer times are worked out

From Talā, the Qibla is 137° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,358 km (844 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Talā's own coordinates (30.68°N, 30.94°E), not a national average. That is why Talā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Talā 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 43m by December. That is a 4h 12m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.68°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Talā 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. Talā sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:55 PM. We also publish times for nearby Ash Shuhadā’, Tanta and Birkat as Sab‘. Each is only a few minutes off Talā's clock.
