Prayer times in El Escorial — common questions
What time is Fajr in El Escorial today?
Fajr in El Escorial begins at 05:26 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 El Escorial?
From El Escorial, the Qibla is 103.8° 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 El Escorial?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Spain. 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 El Escorial from Makkah?
El Escorial lies approximately 4638 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 El Escorial?
Day length in El Escorial ranges from about 9.3 hours at midwinter to 15.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 5.8 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
