Prayer Times in Ţimā, Egypt

Ţimā's times use the Egyptian method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Egypt. They are drawn from Ţimā's own coordinates (26.9084°N, 31.4347°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ţimā's prayer times are worked out

From Ţimā, the Qibla is 124° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,047 km (650 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ţimā's own coordinates (26.91°N, 31.43°E), not a national average. That is why Ţimā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Ţimā timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 31m around June. It eases to 11h 57m by December. That is a 3h 34m swing, set by the city's latitude of 26.91°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ţimā 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. Ţimā sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:53 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Al Badārī, Al Ghanāyim and Ţahţā. Each is only a few minutes off Ţimā's clock.
