How it works

How Cairo's times are computed

For Cairo (30.05° N, 31.25° E) Hourora computes the sun's position for each date and solves for each prayer: Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5°. Asr uses the standard shadow rule. The times are shown in Eastern European Summer Time, daylight saving included.

The default is the method usually published in Egypt: Egyptian General Authority of Survey. You can choose another method, the Asr rule and the high-latitude rule above; the choice is saved on this device.

Why your mosque may differ by a few minutes

Local mosques publish their own timetables. They may use another method, round differently, add their own precautionary minutes, compute for a reference point elsewhere in the city, or set the iqamah later than the start time. Differences of one to five minutes are normal. Where your mosque's timetable differs, follow your mosque.
