About Kayes
Kayes sits in western Mali on the banks of the Sénégal River, serving as the capital of the Kayes administrative region about 420 kilometres northwest of Bamako. As a regional hub recorded with a population of 127,368 at the 2009 census, the city keeps daily life closely tied to the five times of prayer.

Prayer Times in Kayes
Prayer times for Kayes are calculated for the city's position on the Sénégal River in western Mali, using the Muslim World League method, which is widely applied across the region. Kayes observes a single year-round time zone (Africa/Bamako) with no daylight saving changes, so the daily schedule shifts only with the natural movement of the sun. Lying at roughly 14 degrees north of the equator, the city sees a relatively modest seasonal swing: daylight is somewhat longer in the summer months and shorter in winter, but without the extreme variation found in higher latitudes. As a result, Fajr and Isha do not drift dramatically across the year, while Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib follow the steady daily arc of the sun. The live table above shows today's exact times.
