Quick answers
Which method is used for Cairo?
The Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, which is standard in Egypt. You can switch methods in the settings.
How are these prayer times calculated?
- From the sun's position for your coordinates and date, using the method's Fajr and Isha angles (e.g. Umm al-Qura: Fajr 18.5°, Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib, 120 in Ramadan).
- Official minute adjustments are included where countries publish them (Jordan, UAE, Morocco, Turkey).
- Checked against a widely used reference service: within 0–2 minutes for most cities and methods (Asr can differ by up to 3 minutes at high latitudes).
- Imsak is shown 10 minutes before Fajr. Always follow your local mosque or official authority if they differ.
