About Rufisque
Rufisque sits at the base of the Cap-Vert Peninsula in western Senegal, about 25 kilometres east of the capital, Dakar. Once a significant port city in its own right, it has grown into a busy part of the greater Dakar urban area while keeping its own civic identity within the Dakar region. For the city's Muslim community, this page presents daily prayer times for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, calculated for Rufisque's coordinates so the schedule reflects local sunrise and sunset rather than a distant reference point.
Prayer Times in Rufisque
Times on this page are generated for Rufisque using the Muslim World League calculation method, with the city placed in the Africa/Dakar time zone (GMT+0). Senegal does not observe daylight saving time, so clocks stay fixed through the year and there is no seasonal hour shift to account for. Because Rufisque lies at a low latitude of about 14.7 degrees north, the length of daylight changes only modestly between seasons: summer days run a little longer and winter days a little shorter, but the gap is far smaller than in higher-latitude regions, keeping the five daily prayer times relatively steady across the calendar. For prayer, the qibla from Rufisque toward the Kaaba in Mecca is approximately 74 degrees, an east-northeasterly direction. The live grid above shows the exact clock time for each prayer today; use it as your day-to-day reference.
