Prayer Times in Tunis — 2023

Accurate prayer times for Tunis on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:19, Shuruq 05:49, Dhuhr 12:20, Asr 15:59, Maghrib 18:50, Isha 20:14. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Africa/Tunis timezone (UTC+1 · CET), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Tunis: 36.8065, 10.1815. Time zone Africa/Tunis (UTC+1 · CET) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 700,000 people.

For the latitude of Tunis, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:49 and Maghrib is 18:50. Dhuhr (12:20) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Tunisia, and why this page is calculated from Tunis’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Tunis 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. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Travellers through Tunis should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Tunis is 112.7° from true north (ESE), about 3,328 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 Sfax (236 km), prayer times in Constantine (322 km), prayer times in Tripoli (515 km), prayer times in Naples (572 km), prayer times in Rome (601 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 Tunis is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
