Prayer Times in Daljā, Egypt

Daljā, hour by hour

Daljā currently has about 9 hours and 59 minutes of night, from Isha at 7:46 pm through to Fajr at 5:45 am. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

Qibla from Daljā

The qibla from here runs south-east, a bearing of about 125°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 1,153 km — 717 miles — from here. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.

What changes between summer and winter

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Daljā brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Daljā arrives some 41 minutes after what the clock reads. It explains the 12:41 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

The shape of the day

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 5:45 am. Sunrise at 7:06 am closes that window. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:41 pm, and Asr at 4:39 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 6:16 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:46 pm. Around 11 hours and 10 minutes of daylight, all told.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

The night in between

From Isha to Fajr is around 9 hours and 59 minutes at the moment. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

Ramadan timings

The fasting day here runs 5:45 am to 6:16 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 31 minutes. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.
