About Dédougou
Dédougou is the capital of Mouhoun Province and the wider Boucle du Mouhoun Region in western Burkina Faso, sitting at an elevation of about 299 metres. Home to a population of roughly 38,800 and historically associated with the Marka and Bwa communities, it ranks among the country's larger urban centres. For Muslims living here or passing through, this page presents the daily prayer schedule for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, calculated for the city's exact coordinates and updated each day so the times reflect the true position of the sun over Dédougou.
Prayer Times in Dédougou
Prayer times for Dédougou are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard across West Africa for determining the Fajr and Isha twilight angles. The city observes the Africa/Ouagadougou time zone (GMT+0) and does not change its clocks for daylight saving time, so the schedule shifts only gradually with the natural movement of the sun through the year. Because Dédougou lies at a low latitude of about 12.5°N, fairly close to the tropics, day length stays relatively even across the seasons: daylight is modestly longer around the middle of the year and slightly shorter near its end, but the swing is far smaller than in higher-latitude regions. As a result, Fajr and Isha do not drift dramatically, and the five daily prayers remain well spaced throughout the year. The qibla, the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Mecca, lies at a bearing of about 72° from true north, roughly east-north-east from Dédougou. Refer to the live table above for each day's exact times.
Frequently Asked Questions About Prayer Times in Dédougou
What method is used to calculate prayer times in Dédougou?
The times on this page use the Muslim World League calculation method, a common standard across West Africa. It defines the sun-angle thresholds used to determine the start of Fajr (dawn) and Isha (night), while Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib follow from the sun's daily position over Dédougou's coordinates.
Which time zone does Dédougou use for prayer times?
Dédougou follows the Africa/Ouagadougou time zone, which is GMT+0. Burkina Faso does not observe daylight saving time, so the clocks are not adjusted seasonally and the listed prayer times change only with the gradual movement of the sun through the year.
In which direction is the qibla from Dédougou?
From Dédougou the qibla points toward the Kaaba in Mecca at a compass bearing of approximately 72° from true north, which is roughly toward the east-north-east. You can use a reliable compass or qibla app aligned to true north to face this direction for prayer.
Do prayer times in Dédougou change much between summer and winter?
Only modestly. Dédougou lies at a low latitude of about 12.5°N, fairly close to the tropics, so day length stays relatively even year-round. Daylight is a little longer around mid-year and slightly shorter near the year's end, which gently shifts Fajr and Isha, but the variation is much smaller than in countries farther from the equator.
