Compared with Cairo, Dhuhr in Red Sea is called roughly 10 minutes earlier than in Cairo, and on the 21 June Maghrib is called 17 minutes earlier than in the capital. Red Sea is 404 km from the capital, towards the south-east. That is why we calculate every city separately rather than using one timetable for the whole country.
Finding the Qibla from Red Sea
In Red Sea you face towards the south-east, at an angle of 135.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 886 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Red Sea and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
