Prayer Times in Giza — December 2024

Reading the December 2024 table

If you are in Giza today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:01 (Fajr), 12:56 (Dhuhr), 16:30 (Asr), 19:20 (Maghrib) and 20:39 (Isha). 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.

Giza sits in Giza, Egypt, at 30.0131°, 31.2089°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 4.4 million people.

For the latitude of Giza, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:32 and Maghrib is 19:20. Dhuhr (12:56) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Egypt, and why this page is calculated from Giza’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Giza starts from Egyptian General Authority of Survey. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. 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.

Muslims in Giza use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Giza is 135.9° from true north (SE), about 1,287 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 Cairo (4 km), prayer times in Port Said (174 km), prayer times in Alexandria (181 km), prayer times in Luxor (501 km), prayer times in Aswan (680 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.

The full August grid is on the Giza timetable for August 2026. A year view lives at prayer times in Giza for 2026. More cities in Egypt are listed on the Egypt prayer times page. Figures refresh automatically each day.

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 Giza is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
