Prayer times in New Orleans — common questions
What time is Fajr in New Orleans today?
Fajr in New Orleans begins at 04:52 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 New Orleans?
From New Orleans, the Qibla is 49.3° from true north — roughly NE. 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 New Orleans?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across United States. 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 New Orleans?
Day length in New Orleans ranges from about 10.2 hours at midwinter to 14.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.9 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
How far is New Orleans from Makkah?
New Orleans lies approximately 12184 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.
