Oran is a major port city on the Mediterranean coast of northwestern Algeria and the administrative centre of Oran District. Situated about 432 km west-southwest of Algiers, it sits at an elevation of roughly 100 metres and is widely regarded as Algeria's second most important city after the capital, owing to its size and its commercial, industrial, and cultural significance.
The city proper had a population of about 803,000 at the 2008 census, while its broader metropolitan area is home to approximately 1.5 million residents, making it the second-largest urban centre in the country.

Prayer Times in Oran
Oran observes Central European Time (UTC+1) all year and does not change clocks for daylight saving, so the daily prayer schedule moves only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At about 36 degrees north, the city sees a clear but moderate seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha later into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between Asr and sunset. Times on this page are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method.
Ramadan in Oran
During Ramadan in Oran, the daily fast runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so these two times frame the suhoor and iftar of each day. Because the city does not observe daylight saving time, the fasting window changes only gradually as Ramadan progresses, following the natural lengthening or shortening of the day rather than any clock adjustment.
The exact length of the fast depends on where Ramadan falls in the year. When it lands in the longer days of summer, fasting hours in Oran are extended with an early Fajr and a later Maghrib; when it falls in the winter months, the days are shorter and the fast is correspondingly briefer. The daily Fajr and Maghrib times on this page mark the start and end of the fast for each day of the month.
