Prayer times in Mers el Kebir — common questions
What time is Fajr in Mers el Kebir today?
Fajr in Mers el Kebir begins at 04:35 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 Mers el Kebir?

Which calculation method is used for Mers el Kebir?
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.
How far is Mers el Kebir from Makkah?
Mers el Kebir lies approximately 4229 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.
