How Zahlé's prayer times are worked out

From Zahlé, the Qibla is 163° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,434 km (891 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Zahlé's own coordinates (33.85°N, 35.90°E), not a national average. That is why Zahlé's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Zahlé timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Zahlé lies well east inside its Beirut time zone. So the sun peaks about 15 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:35 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 08m near June down to 11h 23m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Zahlé 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 Aley, Jounieh and Beirut. Each is only a few minutes off Zahlé's clock.
