Prayer times in Minya — common questions

What time is Fajr in Minya today?

Fajr in Minya begins at 04:54 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 Minya?

From Minya, the Qibla is 127.0° 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 Minya?

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 far is Minya from Makkah?

Minya lies approximately 1178 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 Minya?

Day length in Minya ranges from about 10.4 hours at midwinter to 13.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.5 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
