Prayer times in Mombasa

Which way to face

From Mombasa, the Qibla is 0 degrees from true north, measured as a great circle to the Kaaba. A phone compass reads magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places, so treat a compass reading as close rather than exact.

How these times are calculated

These use the Muslim World League convention, which sets Fajr at 18 degrees of solar depression and Isha at 17. It is the most widely applied standard in Kenya and across Europe generally, and it is what most mosques there follow.

Times barely move here

Mombasa is at 4.1 degrees, close enough to the equator that day length varies by only about 29 minutes across the entire year. Prayer times shift by a few minutes between seasons and little more, so a timetable printed in January is still broadly right in July.
