About Setif
Sétif sits on the high plains of eastern Algeria at an elevation of roughly 1,096 metres, the capital of Sétif Province and one of the region's leading commercial and industrial centres. For the city's Muslim community, the daily rhythm of the five prayers is anchored to the local solar day, and the times shift gradually through the year as the sun's position changes over this inland plateau. The schedule on this page is calculated for Sétif's coordinates so that Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha line up with the actual sunrise, midday and sunset observed in the city.
Prayer times in Sétif
Prayer times for Sétif are calculated using the method of the Egyptian General Authority of Survey, a widely used standard across North Africa, and are based on the city's latitude of about 36.2°N. Sétif observes Central European Time (UTC+1) year-round and does not change clocks for daylight saving, so the times you see follow the natural movement of the sun rather than a seasonal clock shift. Because the city lies well north of the equator, there is a clear seasonal swing: summer brings early dawns and late sunsets, stretching the gap between Fajr and Isha, while winter days are noticeably shorter and the prayers fall closer together. The qibla from Sétif points roughly east-southeast, on a bearing of about 107° toward the Kaaba in Mecca. The live grid above shows the exact times for each day.
Frequently asked questions about prayer times in Sétif
Which calculation method is used for prayer times in Sétif?
These prayer times for Sétif are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, a standard widely applied across Egypt and North Africa. It defines specific solar angles for Fajr and Isha, which are then converted into local clock times for the city's location.
Does Sétif change its clocks for daylight saving time?
No. Sétif, like the rest of Algeria, stays on Central European Time (UTC+1) throughout the year and does not observe daylight saving. As a result, prayer times shift only with the natural change in the length of the day across the seasons, not because of a clock change.
Why do prayer times in Sétif change throughout the year?
Sétif lies at about 36.2° north of the equator, so the length of daylight varies considerably between summer and winter. In summer the sun rises early and sets late, pushing Fajr earlier and Isha later, while in winter the shorter days bring the prayers closer together. The times are recalculated daily to match the sun's position over the city.
