Prayer times in El Achir — common questions

What time is Fajr in El Achir today?

Fajr in El Achir begins at 04:13 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from El Achir?

From El Achir, the Qibla is 105.9° from true north — roughly ESE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for El Achir?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Algeria. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in El Achir?

Day length in El Achir ranges from about 9.7 hours at midwinter to 14.6 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.9 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is El Achir from Makkah?

El Achir lies approximately 3770 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
