How Ziguinchor's prayer times are worked out

From Ziguinchor, the Qibla is 73° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,017 km (3,739 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ziguinchor's own coordinates (12.57°N, 16.27°W), not a national average. That is why Ziguinchor's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ziguinchor timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ziguinchor lies well west inside its Dakar time zone. So the sun peaks about 74 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:50 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 11m near June down to 12h 39m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ziguinchor 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 Brikama, Sukuta and Bununka Kunda. Each is only a few minutes off Ziguinchor's clock.
