About Sfax
Sfax is a major Mediterranean port city in eastern Tunisia and, by population, the country's second city after the capital, Tunis. Founded in AD 849 on the earlier site of Taparura, it grew into a hub for phosphate handling, olive and nut processing, fishing, and international trade. As the capital of the Sfax Governorate, the city anchors a busy commercial coast where the daily rhythm of prayer is woven into the routines of its markets, port, and neighbourhoods. This page provides daily prayer times for Sfax, calculated for the city's location on the Tunisian coast.
Prayer Times in Sfax
Prayer times for Sfax are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, a standard widely applied across North Africa, with the city set to the Africa/Tunis time zone (UTC+1). Tunisia does not observe daylight saving time, so the listed times shift gradually with the seasons rather than jumping by an hour. Lying at roughly 34.7 degrees north, Sfax sees a clear seasonal swing in daylight: summer brings long days with an early dawn (Fajr) and a late sunset (Maghrib and Isha), while winter days are noticeably shorter, drawing the prayers closer together. The qibla from Sfax points toward Mecca at a bearing of about 110 degrees, roughly east-southeast. Always confirm the day's exact times against the live table above, as they change daily.
