About Timbuktu
Timbuktu is an ancient city in northern Mali, set on the southern edge of the Sahara about 20 kilometres north of the Niger River and serving as the capital of the Tombouctou Region. Long renowned as a historic centre of trans-Saharan trade and Islamic scholarship, it remains a place where the daily rhythm of the five prayers shapes community life. This page provides accurate, regularly updated prayer times for Timbuktu, calculated for its location and time zone.
Prayer Times in Timbuktu
Prayer times for Timbuktu are calculated using the Muslim World League method, which is widely applied across West Africa for determining the Fajr and Isha twilight angles. The city observes West Africa Time (GMT) year-round and does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the times shift only with the natural movement of the sun through the seasons. Lying at roughly 16.8 degrees north on the edge of the Sahara, Timbuktu sees noticeably longer daylight in summer and shorter days in winter, though the variation is moderate compared with cities far from the equator. As a result, Fajr and Isha fall earlier or later across the year while Dhuhr stays close to local midday. The qibla from Timbuktu points roughly east-northeast, at a bearing of about 76 degrees toward the Kaaba in Mecca. The live timetable above shows today's exact times for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
