How prayer times in Tarhuna change through the year
Prayer times in Tarhuna change noticeably between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at about 4:07 AM and Maghrib at 8:16 PM, giving a day of 14 h 17 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 6:27 AM and Maghrib to 6:04 PM, and the day lasts only 10 h 01 min. That is a difference of 4 h 16 min between the longest and the shortest day, which explains why the adhan moves so much from month to month.

Tarhuna lies 65 km south-east of Tripoli, so Dhuhr in Tarhuna is called about 2 minutes earlier than in Tripoli. This difference comes from longitude: each degree moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Tarhuna.
Qibla in Tarhuna and distance to Makkah
In Tarhuna you pray towards the east, at an angle of 108.8° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,860 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Tarhuna and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
