About Port Said
Port Said sits at the northern mouth of the Suez Canal on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, extending some 30 km along the shore on the canal's west bank. It is the capital of the Port Said Governorate and one of Egypt's principal ports, with a recorded population of about 524,000. This page lists today's five daily prayer times for the city's Muslim community, alongside the live clock and Qibla direction.
Port Said is a coastal city in northeast Egypt that straddles the west bank of the northern entrance to the Suez Canal, where the canal meets the Mediterranean Sea. It serves as the capital of the Port Said Governorate and makes up the majority of that governorate, comprising seven of its eight administrative regions. Lying just a few metres above sea level, the city stretches roughly 30 km along the coastline.
As one of Egypt's major ports, Port Said has long been shaped by maritime trade and its strategic position at the head of the Suez Canal. The recorded population stands at about 524,000, with more recent figures placing the wider city near 790,000 in 2024. Like other Egyptian cities, daily life is organised in part around the five prayer times, observed in mosques throughout its neighbourhoods.
Prayer Times in Port Said
Port Said observes Egypt's local time on the Africa/Cairo zone, and Egypt applies daylight saving time, so the clock shifts during the year in addition to the natural seasonal change in daylight. At roughly 31 degrees north the seasonal swing is moderate: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later in the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib into the late afternoon. Times shown here are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, the standard reference across Egypt.
Ramadan in Port Said
During Ramadan, the Muslim community in Port Said fasts from the pre-dawn Suhoor, ending at the Fajr call to prayer, until sunset at Maghrib, when the fast is broken with Iftar. Because the daily fast begins and ends with these two prayer times, the Fajr and Maghrib entries on this page mark the practical start and finish of each fasting day.
The length of the fast varies with the season in which Ramadan falls. When the month occurs in summer, the longer daylight at this latitude makes for a longer fasting day, while a winter Ramadan brings shorter days and an earlier Iftar. Egypt's observance of daylight saving time can also affect the clock times shown, so checking the daily Fajr and Maghrib times for Port Said helps in planning Suhoor and Iftar accurately.
