Prayer times by region in Guinea-Bissau
Our pages in Guinea-Bissau are organised in 9 regions. Open 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, from east to west and from north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Guinea-Bissau
Pages for Guinea-Bissau 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 Bissau, Fajr is about 5:21 AM and Maghrib 7:29 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:02 AM and Maghrib at 6:43 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 26 min to 12 h 49 min.
Our cities in Guinea-Bissau stretch from Cacheu in the west to Gabú in the east, and from Farim in the north to Catió in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Gabú about 8 minutes before Cacheu, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Bissau is no substitute for that of your own city.
