Prayer times in Râs el-Barr — common questions

What time is Fajr in Râs el-Barr today?

Fajr in Râs el-Barr begins at 04:40 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 Râs el-Barr?

From Râs el-Barr, the Qibla is 142.8° from true north — roughly SE. 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 Râs el-Barr?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Egypt. 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 Râs el-Barr?

Day length in Râs el-Barr ranges from about 10.1 hours at midwinter to 14.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Râs el-Barr?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Râs el-Barr'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.
