As daylight saving time ends and clocks transition, millions across Egypt adjust their schedules, prompting the release of official daily prayer timetables. On Friday, October 30, 2026, the updated schedules account for the time shift across several major governorates, detailing exact timings for dawn, sunrise, noon, afternoon, sunset, and night prayers.
The transition to winter time alters daily routines, making precise scheduling essential for daily observances. Authorities and official monitors have published specific timetables for key regions, including the capital, coastal areas, and southern destinations, ensuring communities can coordinate their days accurately under the new time framework.
In Cairo, the dawn (Fajr) prayer is scheduled for 4:39 AM, followed by sunrise. The noon (Dhuhr) prayer falls at 11:39 AM, the afternoon (Asr) prayer at 2:46 PM, the sunset (Maghrib) prayer at 5:10 PM, and the night (Isha) prayer concludes the daily cycle at 6:28 PM.
Coastal and regional schedules reflect slight geographical variations due to longitude and latitude differences. In Alexandria, the Fajr prayer begins slightly later at 4:45 AM. The noon prayer is set for 11:44 AM, the Asr prayer at 2:50 PM, the Maghrib prayer at 5:13 PM, and the Isha prayer at 6:33 PM.
