Prayer Times in Marseille, France

Praying in Marseille

There are around 10 hours and 27 minutes between Isha and Fajr in Marseille just now. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

Method and madhab

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

The direction of prayer

From this city the direction is east-south-east, or 116° if you prefer the number. That puts the Kaaba roughly 4,001 km — 2,486 miles — from here. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.

Ramadan timings

Suhoor closes at 5:31 am in Marseille, with iftar at 5:34 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 3 minutes, going by today's figures. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

For tahajjud

Between Isha at 7:04 pm and Fajr at 5:31 am there are about 10 hours and 27 minutes. 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.

How much the times move

Marseille sees a large seasonal spread — very early summer Fajr times, a very late Isha, then a tightly packed winter day. The month view below is the reliable way to keep track.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr is at 5:31 am — early, and in darkness. The sun appears at 7:10 am, which ends the Fajr period. Dhuhr follows at 12:22 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:52 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:34 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:04 pm. That gives Marseille roughly 10 hours and 24 minutes of daylight today.

A few things worth knowing

No need to bookmark a timetable: the page recalculates for Marseille daily.
