Cairo Prayer-Time Guide

How are Cairo prayer times calculated?

Prayer times for Cairo are calculated using the city’s coordinates, local time zone, the position of the sun, and an established Islamic prayer-time method.

Sunrise and sunset change throughout the year, causing the daily Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times to change gradually.

Why might Cairo mosques show different times?

Local mosques may apply small adjustments or use a different calculation method. Some mosque schedules also show iqama times rather than the beginning of each prayer.

Follow your local mosque’s published schedule when attending congregational prayers.

What is the difference between prayer and iqama times?

The prayer time indicates when the prayer period begins. The iqama is the scheduled time when the congregational prayer starts inside the mosque.
