How prayer times are calculated in Cairo
Prayer times in Cairo are calculated with the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method and the Standard Asr setting. This Egypt-specific convention uses a 19.5° angle for Fajr and a 17.5° angle for Isha, so it should not be mixed with generic MWL, ISNA, or Umm al-Qura settings when comparing Cairo timetables.
The timetable uses Cairo coordinates in the Africa/Cairo timezone, including Egypt's seasonal clock changes when they apply. For June 25, 2026, the site's calculation gives Fajr 04:09, Dhuhr 12:58, Asr 16:33, Maghrib 20:00, and Isha 21:34, which matches the Cairo pattern shown by major prayer-time services using the Egyptian method.
Cairo is part of a dense Greater Cairo prayer-time area with Giza, Nasr City, Heliopolis, Maadi, Shubra, 6th of October City, and New Cairo. The city timetable is suitable for prayer start times, while mosque-level iqamah, Jumu'ah, Ramadan, and Eid schedules should still be checked locally.
Time Ranges for the Five Obligatory Prayers
| Prayer | Guidance | Starts | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Fajr
|
It is important to perform the prayer between true dawn and the beginning of sunrise. | ||
| Dhuhr | This time begins once the sun passes its zenith. It is generally recommended not to delay the prayer without need. | ||
| Asr | Try not to delay Asr without a valid reason until the sun begins to turn yellow and move close to sunset. | ||
| Maghrib | It is recommended to pray Maghrib soon after sunset and not to delay it without need. | ||
| Isha | The time of Isha begins after the evening twilight disappears. It is preferable to perform it before the middle of the night. |
Times for Additional Prayers in Cairo
| Prayer | Guidance | Starts | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tahajjud and Witr | For Tahajjud, the best time is the last third of the night; Witr is performed after Isha and before Fajr. | ||
| Duha Prayer | After the sun has risen above the horizon and before zenith; its best time is when the sun has risen higher and its heat has intensified. |
