About Louga
Louga sits on the dry plains of northwestern Senegal, serving as the administrative seat of the Louga Department and a long-standing cattle-market town for the surrounding region. It lies in an area known historically as the Ndiambour, once part of the Cayor province, at the northern edge of Senegal's groundnut (peanut) belt. The district draws together the pastoral Fulani and the sedentary Wolof farmers who work the land around it, and road and rail links tie the town to the coastal port of Saint-Louis to the northwest and to Dakar to the southwest. For the Muslim community here, this page tracks the five daily prayer times together with sunrise, sitting at an elevation of about 44 metres.
Prayer Times in Louga
Prayer times for Louga are calculated using the Muslim World League method, the standard widely applied across West Africa. The town keeps GMT year-round (Africa/Dakar timezone) and does not observe daylight saving time, so the schedule shifts only with the natural movement of the sun rather than any clock change. At a latitude of roughly 15.6 degrees north, Louga lies in the tropics, where the gap between summer and winter daylight is modest: summer days run a little longer and winter days a little shorter, but Fajr and Isha never drift to the extremes seen at higher latitudes. The qibla from Louga points roughly east-northeast, at a bearing of about 75 degrees, toward the Kaaba in Makkah. The live table on this page updates daily, so the listed times always reflect the current date.
