About Obock
Obock is a coastal town in northern Djibouti, set on the country's Red Sea coast where the Gulf of Tadjoura meets the Gulf of Aden near the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. It lies close to Djibouti's northern frontier with Eritrea and anchors the wider Obock area, a region of mixed highland and coastal plains that had an estimated population of about 37,856 as of 2009. As a long-established settlement on this strategic stretch of the Horn of Africa, Obock observes the five daily prayers within Djibouti's single national timezone.

Prayer times in Obock are calculated using the Muslim World League method and follow the Africa/Djibouti timezone, which does not observe daylight saving time, so the schedule shifts only gradually with the seasons. Because Obock sits at a low latitude of about 12 degrees north, near the tropics, daylight length stays fairly stable through the year: summer days are only modestly longer than winter days, and the gap between the earliest and latest prayer times remains relatively small compared with cities far from the equator. From Obock the qibla points to roughly 341 degrees, a north-northwesterly direction toward the Kaaba in Mecca across the Red Sea.
