Prayer times in Dar es Salaam — common questions

What time is Fajr in Dar es Salaam today?

Fajr in Dar es Salaam begins at 05:22 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 Dar es Salaam?

From Dar es Salaam, the Qibla is 1.1° from true north — roughly N. 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 Dar es Salaam?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Tanzania. 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 Dar es Salaam from Makkah?

Dar es Salaam lies approximately 3141 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 Dar es Salaam?

Day length in Dar es Salaam ranges from about 11.7 hours at midwinter to 12.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.8 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
