Prayer times in Alexandria

Prayer times for Alexandria, Egypt, computed for 2026-07-13. Today Fajr begins at 04:20 and Maghrib at 20:06 (Africa/Cairo time), a fast of 15 hours and 46 minutes between the two. Sunrise (Shuruq) is at 06:06, Dhuhr at 13:07, Asr at 16:45 and Isha at 21:39. Alexandria sits at 31.2001 N, 29.9187 E, home to about 5 200 000 people, and the Qibla bearing from here is 135,4 degrees from true north. Calculation method: Egyptian General Authority of Survey.

Today and tomorrow in Alexandria, side by side

We keep two days on the same page because the build runs once daily in UTC and the same file reaches every zone; promising only the present day would fail through the morning of half the planet. With today and tomorrow both visible, the tool just above resolves which column is correct in Alexandria from the visitor local clock. Shuruq, sunrise, falls between Fajr and Dhuhr.

Prayer calendar for the next 30 days in Alexandria

The next 30 days for Alexandria at a glance, to plan the month. Each row is recomputed at build time from the position of the sun; Shuruq is sunrise.

The daily step of the times in Alexandria

How fast the times slide depends on the season: nearly frozen at the solstices, quicker at the equinoxes, always led by Fajr and Isha. The last column measures that step in Alexandria between today and tomorrow, which is why the page lastmod changes every day.

Geography of the times in Alexandria

Today the span between Fajr and Maghrib, the daily fast, runs 15 hours and 46 minutes in Alexandria. The Kaaba, in Mecca, lies 1 467 km from Alexandria in a straight line, toward the southeast (135,4 degrees from true north): that is where the Qibla points. The sun crosses its highest point 67 minutes after local clock noon, which is why Dhuhr begins at 13:07.

Calculation method in Alexandria

Fajr and Isha depend on the angle of the sun below the horizon adopted by each authority, and that angle is the only place the methods diverge. In Alexandria we use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey, the most common in the region: Fajr at 19.5 degrees, Isha at 17.5 degrees. Dhuhr is solar noon, Maghrib is sunset and Shuruq is sunrise; those three barely change between methods. Asr depends on the school of law: the default here is Shafi (shadow reaches once the object height). In the Hanafi school Asr comes later.

Honesty and sources

These times are a computed reference, not a substitute for the Alexandria mosque announcement. The official methods can differ by a few minutes from one another, and many communities add a minute of precaution (ihtiyat) to Fajr or delay Isha; where your mosque differs, the local authority prevails. The math starts from the geometric position of the sun for 31.2001 N, 29.9187 E, in the Africa/Cairo timezone, with the Meeus formulas implemented by the open adhan-js library (MIT, by Batoul Apps), the same one behind many Islamic apps. The start of Ramadan and Eid is NOT here: those dates depend on moon sighting and the proclamation of authorities, not on calculation. Whatever runs in the browser stays in the browser; if you allow geolocation, your position never leaves the device.
