Prayer times by region in Djibouti
Our pages in Djibouti are organised in 6 regions. Choose your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and from north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Djibouti
Pages for Djibouti 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+3). In the capital Djibouti, Fajr is about 4:27 AM and Maghrib 6:33 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:06 AM and Maghrib at 5:49 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 27 min to 12 h 48 min.
Our cities in Djibouti stretch from Dikhil in the west to Obock in the east, and from Obock in the north to Dikhil in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Obock about 4 minutes before Dikhil, 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 Djibouti cannot replace that of your own city.
