Prayer Times in Dikhil
Prayer times for Dikhil are calculated using the Muslim World League method, with the day's schedule based on the town's position at roughly 11 degrees north of the equator. Because Dikhil sits close to the equator, the lengths of daylight and night change relatively little across the year, so the times for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha shift only modestly between summer and winter, and daybreak and sunset stay fairly consistent month to month. Times follow Djibouti Time (Africa/Djibouti, UTC+3), which does not observe daylight saving, so there are no seasonal clock changes to account for. For prayer, the qibla from Dikhil faces a bearing of about 347 degrees, just west of due north toward Mecca. The live table on this page reflects each day's exact times.
