Prayer Times in Tenkodogo
Prayer times for Tenkodogo are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard across West Africa. The town keeps a single year-round clock (UTC, Africa/Ouagadougou timezone) with no daylight saving adjustment, so the times shift only gradually with the seasons. Because Tenkodogo lies in the tropics, fairly close to the equator, day length stays relatively even through the year: Fajr and Isha do not swing as widely as they do at higher latitudes. The qibla, the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Mecca, lies at about 71 degrees from true north, roughly east-northeast.
