Nefta is located 387 km south-west of Tunis, so Dhuhr in Nefta is called about 9 minutes later than in Tunis. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Nefta.

In Nefta you pray towards the east, at an angle of 105.5° from true north; the Kaaba is 3,419 km away.
