Prayer times in Algeria

Check today’s prayer times in Algeria: Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for 301 cities, each calculated for its own coordinates. Algeria is in Africa and uses a single time zone (UTC+1), so the time of the adhan changes from city to city. We use the Algerian Ministry of Religious Affairs method, and you can change it in the settings of any page.

Prayer times by region in Algeria

Our pages in Algeria are organised in 57 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and from north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Algeria

Pages for Algeria use the Algerian Ministry of Religious Affairs method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+1). In the capital Algiers, Fajr is about 3:37 AM and Maghrib 8:10 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:23 AM and Maghrib at 5:35 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 39 min to 14 h 41 min.

Our cities in Algeria stretch from Tindouf in the west to Djanet in the east, and from Collo in the north to In Guezzam in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Djanet about 71 minutes before Tindouf, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Algiers cannot replace that of your own city.
