Prayer times in Fortaleza — common questions

What time is Fajr in Fortaleza today?

Fajr in Fortaleza begins at 04:30 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 Fortaleza?

From Fortaleza, the Qibla is 67.6° from true north — roughly ENE. 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 Fortaleza?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Brazil. 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 far is Fortaleza from Makkah?

Fortaleza lies approximately 8961 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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Fortaleza?

Day length in Fortaleza ranges from about 11.9 hours at midwinter to 12.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
