Prayer Times in Niamey
Prayer times for Niamey are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a standard widely applied across West Africa, and are displayed in West Africa Time (UTC+1). Niger does not observe daylight saving, so the same offset applies all year and times shift only gradually with the seasons. Because Niamey lies close to the tropics at roughly 13.5 degrees north, the length of day changes only modestly through the year: summer days run a little longer and winter days a little shorter, but the gap is small compared with higher-latitude cities. As a result, Fajr and Isha stay relatively steady from season to season, while the live grid above reflects the exact daily timings. The qibla from Niamey points roughly east-northeast, on a bearing of about 72 degrees toward the Kaaba in Mecca.
