About Kankan
Kankan is one of Guinea's most important urban centres, the largest city in the country by land area and the second most populous after the national capital, Conakry, with a population reported at around 410,000 as of 2026. Set in eastern Guinea roughly 555 kilometres from Conakry, it serves as the administrative seat of the Kankan Region and a long-standing commercial hub for the country's interior. For the Muslim community here, the five daily prayers structure the rhythm of the day, and this page provides the daily prayer schedule for Kankan, calculated for its specific geographic position.
Prayer Times in Kankan
Prayer times for Kankan are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard across West Africa, and are shown in local time for the Africa/Conakry timezone, which observes no daylight saving changes throughout the year. Because Kankan lies at a low latitude of about 10 degrees north, fairly close to the equator, the length of daylight stays relatively consistent across the seasons: the gaps between Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha shift only modestly between summer and winter rather than swinging dramatically as they do at higher latitudes. For worshippers facing the Kaaba in Mecca, the qibla direction from Kankan is approximately 70 degrees, measured clockwise from true north, pointing toward the east-northeast. The live table on this page reflects each day's calculated times.
