Prayer times in Nairobi, Kenya are worked out from the position of the sun over the city’s coordinates (-1.2921°, 36.8219°). 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 Nairobi is earliest around November (about 4:59 AM) and latest around February (about 5:32 AM). Daylight ranges from roughly 12h 03m in the shortest days to 12h 12m in the longest, which is why Isha moves between 7:28 PM and 7:58 PM.

To face the Qibla from Nairobi, turn to 7.2° from true north (N). The Ka‘bah in Makkah is 2,547 km away along the shortest great-circle path.
