How Tamanghasset's prayer times are worked out

From Tamanghasset, the Qibla is 86° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,529 km (2,193 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Tamanghasset's own coordinates (22.79°N, 5.52°E), not a national average. That is why Tamanghasset's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Tamanghasset timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Tamanghasset lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 46 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:36 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 59m near June down to 12h 04m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Tamanghasset 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 Arlit, Alaghsas and Agadez. Each is only a few minutes off Tamanghasset's clock.
