Cairo prayer times overview
The Cairo page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Cairo: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Cairo geographic location is 30.0444°N, 31.2357°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Cairo prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Cairo the sun rises at 06:17, while Maghrib begins at 19:45. Daylight lasts 13 часов 28 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Cairo begins after Maghrib at 19:45 and lasts until Fajr at 04:40. Its duration is 8 часов 55 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Cairo the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Cairo: Fajr — 04:40, Maghrib — 19:45 and Isha — 21:10. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Cairo, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:40: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:17: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:01: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:47: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 19:45: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:10: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Cairo
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
Prayer times in Cairo are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:40) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:45): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Cairo it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
