Prayer Times in Luxor — 2023

If you are in Luxor today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:03 (Fajr), 12:50 (Dhuhr), 16:20 (Asr), 19:11 (Maghrib) and 20:26 (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.

Luxor sits in Luxor, Egypt, at 25.6872°, 32.6396°. 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 listed population is about 200,000 people.

Luxor 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 06:29 and Maghrib is at 19:11. Dhuhr (12:50) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Luxor.

Calculation for Luxor 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 Luxor 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 Luxor is 121.4° from true north (ESE), about 872 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 Aswan (180 km), prayer times in Giza (501 km), prayer times in Cairo (504 km), prayer times in Port Said (621 km), prayer times in Alexandria (668 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 Luxor is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
