Prayer times in Dakar, Senegal are worked out from the position of the sun over the city’s coordinates (14.7167°, -17.4677°). By default this page uses the Muslim World League method — Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha sun 17° below the horizon — with the standard Asr rule.

Across the year, Fajr in Dakar is earliest around June (about 5:21 AM) and latest around January (about 6:23 AM). Daylight ranges from roughly 11h 16m in the shortest days to 13h 00m in the longest, which is why Isha moves between 7:48 PM and 8:57 PM.

To face the Qibla from Dakar, turn to 73.9° from true north (ENE). The Ka‘bah in Makkah is 6,071 km away along the shortest great-circle path.
