About Zinder
Zinder is the third-largest city in Niger and the historic capital of the Zinder Region in the country's south-central Sahel. Lying roughly 861 km east of the national capital, Niamey, and about 240 km north of Kano across the border in Nigeria, it sits on a plateau at around 479 metres elevation. For the city's Muslim community, the daily prayer schedule is set by Zinder's position near latitude 13.8 degrees north and the West Africa Time zone (UTC+1), which keeps the times relatively steady through the year. The times shown on this page are calculated for Zinder's exact coordinates and refreshed daily.
Prayer times in Zinder
Prayer times for Zinder are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard across the Sahel and the broader Muslim world. The city observes West Africa Time (UTC+1) and does not change clocks for daylight saving, so the schedule shifts only gradually with the seasons. Because Zinder lies close to latitude 13.8 degrees north, daylight length stays fairly consistent year-round: summer days are only modestly longer than winter days, so Fajr and Isha do not swing as widely as they would at higher latitudes. From Zinder the qibla, the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Mecca, points to a bearing of about 71 degrees, roughly east-northeast. The daily grid above lists the current Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the city.
