Prayer times in El Tarf — common questions

What time is Fajr in El Tarf today?

Fajr in El Tarf begins at 03:55 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 Tarf?

From El Tarf, the Qibla is 110.6° 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 Tarf?

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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of El Tarf?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from El Tarf's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.

How far is El Tarf from Makkah?

El Tarf lies approximately 3481 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.
