Prayer times in Cairo, Egypt are worked out from the position of the sun over the city’s coordinates (30.0444°, 31.2357°). By default this page uses the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method — Fajr begins when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon and Isha sun 17.5° below the horizon — with the standard Asr rule. Nearby, Alexandria follow the same national method.

Across the year, Fajr in Cairo is earliest around April (about 3:58 AM) and latest around October (about 5:30 AM). Daylight ranges from roughly 10h 14m in the shortest days to 14h 04m in the longest, which is why Isha moves between 6:19 PM and 9:31 PM.

To face the Qibla from Cairo, turn to 136.1° from true north (SE). The Ka‘bah in Makkah is 1,287 km away along the shortest great-circle path.
