Prayer Times in Aswan — 2023

Accurate prayer times for Aswan on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 05:05, Shuruq 06:30, Dhuhr 12:49, Asr 16:17, Maghrib 19:09, Isha 20:23. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Africa/Cairo timezone (UTC+3 · EEST), the Egyptian General Authority of Survey convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Aswan is listed under Aswan in Egypt. The engine uses 24.0889 latitude and 32.8998 longitude with IANA zone Africa/Cairo. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 310,000 people.

Aswan is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 06:30 and Maghrib is at 19:09. Dhuhr (12:49) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Aswan.

The Egyptian General Authority of Survey method is the starting point on this Aswan page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. Egyptian printed calendars use the Survey Authority angles (Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5°), which make Fajr earlier than MWL.

Aswan (Egypt) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Aswan is 111.3° from true north (ESE), about 770 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Luxor (180 km), prayer times in Giza (680 km), prayer times in Cairo (682 km), prayer times in Port Said (800 km), prayer times in Alexandria (843 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Aswan is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
