Compared with Cairo, Dhuhr in Rosetta comes roughly 3 minutes later than in Cairo, and on the 21 June Maghrib arrives 7 minutes later than in the capital. Rosetta is 170 km away from the capital, towards the north-west. That is why we calculate every city with its own coordinates rather than using one timetable for the whole country.
