How Zouérat's prayer times are worked out

From Zouérat, the Qibla is 81° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,362 km (3,332 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Zouérat's own coordinates (22.74°N, 12.47°W), not a national average. That is why Zouérat's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Zouérat timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Zouérat lies well west inside its Nouakchott time zone. So the sun peaks about 58 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:48 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 59m near June down to 12h 04m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Zouérat 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 Nouadhibou, Dar Naim and Ksar. Each is only a few minutes off Zouérat's clock.
