Prayer times in Astrakhan — common questions

What time is Fajr in Astrakhan today?

Fajr in Astrakhan begins at 03:23 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 Astrakhan?

From Astrakhan, the Qibla is 197.8° from true north — roughly SSW. 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 Astrakhan?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Russia. 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.

Do prayer times in Astrakhan change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 7.2-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Astrakhan, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Astrakhan from Makkah?

Astrakhan lies approximately 2870 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.
