How prayer times are calculated in Burkina Faso
Pages for Burkina Faso use the Muslim World League 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). In the capital Ouagadougou, Fajr is about 4:23 AM and Maghrib 6:34 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:06 AM and Maghrib at 5:46 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 24 min to 12 h 51 min.
Our cities in Burkina Faso stretch from Orodara in the west to Diapaga in the east, and from Aribinda in the north to Batie in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Diapaga about 27 minutes before Orodara, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Ouagadougou is no substitute for that of your own city.
