Prayer Times in Egypt — FAQ

Answers refreshed daily based on today's reference prayer times across Egypt.

What time are today's prayers in Egypt?
Reference times from Cairo (capital of Egypt) for today: Fajr 04:22, Dhuhr 12:51, Asr 16:28, Maghrib 19:46, Isha 21:16 (local time, Africa/Cairo). Click any city in the list below to see times specific to that location.
Why do prayer times differ between cities in Egypt?
Prayer times depend on the local sunrise, solar zenith, and sunset — which shift with longitude and latitude. Even within Egypt, two cities a few hundred kilometres apart can have Fajr times that differ by 10–20 minutes. Always use the city-specific page rather than a national average.
What is today's Hijri date in Egypt?
Today corresponds to 6 Dhu al-Hijjah 1447 AH in the Islamic Hijri calendar. In Egypt, the Hijri date changes at Maghrib (sunset) of each city — the time of which is shown on the individual city pages.
Which Qibla direction do Muslims in Egypt face?
All Muslims face the Kaaba in Mecca, but the bearing (measured clockwise from true north) differs by city within Egypt because of the Earth's curvature. Each city page shows the precise Qibla bearing for that location, calculated via the great-circle method.
How many cities in Egypt have published prayer times here?
This page links to prayer times for 88 cities in Egypt. Each city has its own page with daily and monthly timetables, per-prayer details, and a Qibla bearing.
Are prayer times in this country adjusted for Daylight Saving Time?
Yes — all times shown are in local civil time and automatically reflect any DST shifts observed in Egypt. There is no separate adjustment needed.
Which calculation method should I follow?
The page defaults to widely-accepted regional conventions (Umm al-Qura for the Arabian Peninsula, ISNA for North America, Muslim World League for most of Europe and Asia). If your local mosque uses a different method, switch via the page filters and bookmark the resulting URL for daily reference.
