About Baidoa
Baidoa is the largest city of the South West State of Somalia and the principal urban centre of the Bay region. Sitting on the interior plateau of southern Somalia at roughly 446 metres above sea level, it serves as an administrative and commercial hub for the surrounding area. The city lies very close to the equator, at about 3.1 degrees north latitude, which shapes a daily prayer rhythm that stays remarkably steady throughout the year. The times shown on this page are calculated for Baidoa's coordinates using the Muslim World League method and the Africa/Mogadishu time zone (East Africa Time, UTC+3), which does not observe daylight saving.
Prayer Times in Baidoa
Because Baidoa lies just north of the equator, the lengths of day and night change very little across the seasons, so the five daily prayer times shift by only minutes from month to month rather than the wide swings seen in higher-latitude cities. Fajr falls in the pre-dawn darkness and Isha not long after nightfall, with the gap between them staying fairly consistent year-round. The times here are computed using the Muslim World League calculation method for Baidoa's location, in the Africa/Mogadishu time zone (UTC+3); since Somalia does not use daylight saving, no seasonal clock change applies. The qibla from Baidoa points toward Mecca on a bearing of about 349 degrees, essentially north and very slightly to the west.

Which direction is the qibla from Baidoa?
