Prayer Times in Bouzeghaia, Algeria

What these times mean for Bouzeghaia

The night in Bouzeghaia runs about 10 hours and 16 minutes at the moment — Isha at 7:31 pm to Fajr at 5:47 am. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

The calculation behind them

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Isha to Fajr

Bouzeghaia gets roughly 10 hours and 16 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

Suhoor and iftar in Bouzeghaia

The fasting day here runs 5:47 am to 6:01 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 14 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs east-south-east, a bearing of about 103°. Makkah is around 4,072 kilometres (2,530 miles) away in a straight line.

A walk through today's times

Fajr is at 5:47 am — early, and in darkness. You have until 7:16 am, when the sun comes up. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:39 pm, and Asr at 4:22 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 6:01 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:31 pm. Around 10 hours and 45 minutes of daylight, all told.

What changes between summer and winter

Summer and winter look like different timetables entirely in Bouzeghaia. The times can shift by several hours between the two ends of the year.

If you are travelling

There are 11 more Algeria cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Bouzeghaia's. If you are travelling within the country, use the page for where you actually are; the difference is small but real.

The clock against the sun

Solar noon in Bouzeghaia falls about 39 minutes after twelve o'clock. That is why Dhuhr sits at 12:39 pm rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.
