Prayer Times in Ziguinchor
Prayer times for Ziguinchor are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard across West Africa. The city keeps Greenwich Mean Time year-round (Africa/Dakar) and does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock does not shift between seasons. Lying close to the tropics at roughly 13 degrees north, Ziguinchor sees only modest variation in day length through the year, which means Fajr and Isha stay relatively stable compared with locations far from the equator. From the city, the qibla direction toward the Kaaba in Makkah is about 73 degrees, roughly east-northeast. The live table above shows today's times for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha.
