Prayer Times in Egypt

Daily Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times for 8 cities across Egypt, each with a full twelve-month timetable, both Asr opinions and the local Qibla direction.

There is no such thing as one prayer time for Egypt. Prayer times follow the sun, so they change with longitude and latitude within a country as much as they change with the calendar. On Sunday, 30 August 2026, Maghrib across the cities listed here spans 0 hours 15 minutes — from 19:11 in Luxor to 19:26 in Alexandria. All of them share a single timezone, Africa/Cairo (UTC+03:00). Pick your own city below rather than relying on the capital's timetable.

Which calculation method is used in Egypt?

Nour Daily resolves Egypt to the Egyptian General Authority method, maintained by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. This is the timetable Egyptian mosques are printed from, and it is the reference across much of North and West Africa. Its Fajr angle is one of the earliest in common use, so Fajr here is noticeably earlier than a Muslim World League timetable would give.

Every city page below shows the resulting times alongside both Asr opinions, so a Hanafi and a non-Hanafi reader can use the same table. If your mosque follows a different authority, the app lets you change the method and the whole timetable moves with it.

Fasting hours in Egypt

The longest interval between Fajr and Maghrib anywhere on this list falls in Alexandria, at 16 hours at the height of summer. Cities further from the equator swing further between their longest and shortest days; cities near it barely move at all across the year. Each city page states its own maximum and minimum with the exact dates.

Accuracy

Calculated times can differ by a few minutes from local mosque timetables. Mosques commonly round to five minutes, add a margin to Fajr, or apply a local correction agreed by their committee. Where a mosque near you publishes a timetable, follow that; these pages are for planning and for travel.
