Prayer Times in Mellila, Morocco

What these times mean for Mellila

These are Mellila's own prayer times, not a regional approximation — they come from the coordinates 33.38° N, 7.13° W. It is a small distinction that matters in practice: the sun does not arrive everywhere in a country at once.

Suhoor and iftar in Mellila

Suhoor closes at 5:19 am in Mellila, with iftar at 5:39 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 20 minutes, going by today's figures. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Lining up with the Kaaba

From this city the direction is east, or 94° if you prefer the number. Makkah is around 4,780 kilometres (2,970 miles) away in a straight line. 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.

How the times are worked out

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. 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.

Mellila today, prayer by prayer

Fajr opens the day at 5:19 am, well before first light. You have until 6:45 am, when the sun comes up. Dhuhr 12:12 pm, Asr 4:01 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:39 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:09 pm. That gives Mellila roughly 10 hours and 54 minutes of daylight today.

How much the times move

Mellila sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.
