What time is Fajr in Simon's Town today?

Fajr in Simon's Town begins at 06:11 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 Simon's Town?

Which calculation method is used for Simon's Town?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across South Africa. 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 Simon's Town from Makkah?

Simon's Town lies approximately 6585 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 Simon's Town?
