How Tataouine's prayer times are worked out

From Tataouine, the Qibla is 106° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,161 km (1,964 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Tataouine's own coordinates (32.93°N, 10.45°E), not a national average. That is why Tataouine's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Tataouine timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Tataouine lies well west inside its Tunis time zone. So the sun peaks about 27 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:17 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 02m near June down to 11h 28m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Tataouine 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 Medenine, Ben Gardane and Zarzis. Each is only a few minutes off Tataouine's clock.
