About these times
The times above are calculated for Algiers using the Muslim World League method. They change a little each day, so this page reads today's times when you open it.
Fajr begins at dawn and Sunrise ends the Fajr window. Dhuhr is after the sun passes its highest point, Asr is in the afternoon, Maghrib is at sunset, and Isha begins when the evening twilight ends.
Local mosques may announce slightly different times. If your mosque publishes its own timetable, follow it.
Algiers in numbers
Algiers is in Algeria, at 36.75°N, 3.06°E, in the Africa/Algiers time zone (UTC+01:00). The times on this page follow the Muslim World League method, the one used or most common for this region.
Day length in Algiers runs from about 9 h 29 min on the shortest day of the year (around 21 December) to about 14 h 31 min on the longest (around 21 June), a difference of roughly 5 h 2 min. That is why the time between Fajr and Maghrib moves so much through the year, and why a fast in Ramadan is longer or shorter depending on the season in which Ramadan falls.
Solar noon in Algiers falls at about 12:48 local standard time on average, and Dhuhr begins shortly after it. The closest cities on this site are Tunis (634 km, solar noon 28 min earlier there), Casablanca (1,030 km, solar noon 43 min later there), Paris (1,347 km, solar noon 3 min later there). The minutes shown compare when the sun is at its highest. The further east a place is, the earlier the sun peaks and the earlier its prayers begin; if two cities are in different time zones, their clocks differ by whole hours on top of that.
