Prayer Times in Tripoli, Libya
Prayer times in Tripoli are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (32.89°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Libya. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Tripoli's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Libya. They are drawn from Tripoli's own coordinates (32.8874°N, 13.1873°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Tripoli's prayer times are worked out
From Tripoli, the Qibla is 109° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,916 km (1,812 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Tripoli's own coordinates (32.89°N, 13.19°E), not a national average. That is why Tripoli's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Tripoli timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Tripoli lies well west inside its Tripoli time zone. So the sun peaks about 76 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:13 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 Tripoli 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 Tājūrā’, Janzūr and As Sawānī. Each is only a few minutes off Tripoli's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Libya
Libyan religious affairs run through the General Authority of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, and congregations across the country are overwhelmingly Sunni Maliki. This page uses the Muslim World League convention (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) applied to this city's own coordinates. Libya keeps UTC+2 year-round, without daylight saving. The country stretches over a thousand kilometres of coast, from Tripoli to Tobruk. Sunset in the east therefore comes well over half an hour before the west. This page's per-city calculation absorbs that difference automatically.
Medinas of the coast, mosques of the desert
Tripoli's old medina holds the Ottoman-era mosques of the Karamanli period. Their courtyards are tucked between covered souks, a few streets from the ancient Arch of Marcus Aurelius. Far to the south-east, the oasis town of Awjila preserves one of the Sahara's most distinctive mosques. Its conical mud domes were built for desert heat centuries ago. Between coast and desert, Ramadan in Libya runs on Mediterranean rhythm. Taraweeh comes late in the medinas, and iftar tables spill into the streets when the cannon sounds.
Mosques in Tripoli
Mosques in and around Tripoli include مسجد المغاربة, مسجد جمال عبدالناصر, مسجد المجيدية, جامع المجيدية, جامع ادريس and مسجد أبو حميرة. The times on this page are worked out from Tripoli's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
