Prayer times in Qaşr al Farāfirah — common questions

What time is Fajr in Qaşr al Farāfirah today?

Fajr in Qaşr al Farāfirah begins at 05:09 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 Qaşr al Farāfirah?

From Qaşr al Farāfirah, the Qibla is 115.0° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Qaşr al Farāfirah?

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 Qaşr al Farāfirah?

Day length in Qaşr al Farāfirah ranges from about 10.4 hours at midwinter to 13.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.4 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 Qaşr al Farāfirah?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Qaşr al Farāfirah'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.
