Prayer times by region in Gabon
Our pages in Gabon are organised in 9 regions. Choose your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes between cities, east to west and from north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Gabon
Times for Gabon 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+1). In the capital Libreville, Fajr is about 5:04 AM and Maghrib 6:28 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:02 AM and Maghrib at 6:23 PM. Daylight there ranges from 12 h 06 min to 12 h 09 min.
Our cities in Gabon stretch from Port-Gentil in the west to Franceville in the east, and from Bitam in the north to Tchibanga in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Franceville about 19 minutes before Port-Gentil, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Libreville cannot replace that of your own city.
