Prayer times in Nairobi — common questions

What time is Fajr in Nairobi today?

Fajr in Nairobi begins at 05:25 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 Nairobi?

From Nairobi, the Qibla is 7.2° from true north — roughly N. 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 Nairobi?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Kenya. 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 Nairobi from Makkah?

Nairobi lies approximately 2546 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 Nairobi?

Day length in Nairobi ranges from about 12 hours at midwinter to 12.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
