About Kiffa
Kiffa is a town in southern Mauritania and the administrative seat of Kiffa Department, within the Assaba Region. Home to roughly 33,000 people and set at an elevation of about 127 metres on the Sahelian plains of the country's interior, it serves as a regional market and administrative centre. For the Muslim community here, the five daily prayers structure the rhythm of the day. Local prayer times are calculated for Kiffa's coordinates (about 16.6 degrees north latitude) using the Muslim World League method, and the live timetable on this page updates each day for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
Prayer Times in Kiffa
Prayer times for Kiffa are based on the town's location at roughly 16.6 degrees north latitude, in the Africa/Nouakchott time zone (GMT+0). Mauritania does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock does not shift between seasons; only the natural movement of sunrise and sunset changes the timetable through the year. At this subtropical Sahelian latitude, day length varies moderately: summer days are longer, pushing Fajr earlier and Isha later, while winter days are shorter and the prayer window contracts, with Maghrib falling earlier in the evening. The calculation method used here is the Muslim World League standard. The qibla, the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Mecca, lies at a bearing of about 76 degrees from Kiffa, roughly toward the east-northeast. Refer to the live table above for the exact times for today and any future date.
