About Nouadhibou
Nouadhibou sits on the Ras Nouadhibou peninsula (Cap Blanc) along Mauritania's Atlantic coast, just a short distance from the border with Western Sahara. Formerly known as Port-Etienne, it is the country's second largest city and a major commercial and fishing center, home to roughly 173,000 residents. Daily prayer times here are calculated for the Africa/Nouakchott time zone using the Muslim World League method, with the Qibla oriented toward the northeast.
Prayer Times in Nouadhibou
Prayer times for Nouadhibou follow the Muslim World League calculation method and the Africa/Nouakchott time zone, which does not observe daylight saving, so the clock stays consistent year round. At about 21 degrees north, just inside the subtropics, the city sees noticeably longer daylight in summer and shorter days in winter, though the swing is more moderate than at higher latitudes. As a result Fajr and Isha shift earlier or later across the seasons while Dhuhr stays close to local midday. From Nouadhibou the Qibla bearing is approximately 78 degrees, toward the east-northeast. The live timetable on this page shows the exact times for each day.
