About Suez
Suez sits at the northern coast of the Gulf of Suez on the Red Sea, near the southern entrance to the Suez Canal in north-eastern Egypt. The capital and largest city of the Suez Governorate, it is home to roughly 517,000 people and traces its roots to the ancient port of Clysma. As a low-lying maritime city at a latitude of about 30 degrees north, Suez observes the five daily prayers on a schedule that shifts gradually through the year with the changing length of daylight.
Suez is a seaport city in north-eastern Egypt, located on the north coast of the Gulf of Suez on the Red Sea, near the southern terminus of the Suez Canal. It serves as the capital and largest city of the Suez Governorate, with a population of around 517,000. The modern city is a successor of the ancient Egyptian city of Clysma, which was a major Red Sea port and a center of monasticism.
Lying at a low elevation of about 11 metres at the meeting point of the Gulf of Suez and the canal that bears its name, Suez is woven into the daily rhythms of maritime trade and port life. For residents and travellers alike, the city's mosques mark the day with the call to prayer, and the times below are kept current for Suez throughout the year.
Prayer Times in Suez
Prayer times in Suez are calculated using the method of the Egyptian General Authority of Survey, the standard followed across Egypt. The city keeps Egypt's national time (Africa/Cairo), which observes daylight saving time, so the clock times shown for Fajr through Isha shift when the seasonal change takes effect. From Suez, the qibla direction toward the Kaaba in Mecca is about 141 degrees, to the south-east. Sitting near 30 degrees north latitude, the city sees noticeably longer days in summer and shorter days in winter, so Fajr and Isha move earlier or later across the seasons while the overall daily pattern stays consistent.
Ramadan in Suez
During Ramadan, Muslims in Suez fast from dawn until sunset, beginning the fast at the time of Fajr and breaking it at Maghrib. The suhoor meal is taken before the Fajr time shown for the city, and iftar follows the Maghrib call to prayer. Because Suez lies near 30 degrees north, the length of the fasting day depends on the season in which Ramadan falls, with longer days when the month occurs in summer and shorter days when it falls in winter.
Throughout the month, many worshippers attend the nightly Taraweeh prayers held after Isha at local mosques. Since Egypt observes daylight saving time and Suez follows the Egyptian General Authority of Survey calculation method, the daily Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times for the city are kept up to date here so families can plan suhoor, iftar and night prayers accurately.
