Prayer times in Skopje

Which way to face

From Skopje, the Qibla is 137 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 North Macedonia and across Europe generally, and it is what most mosques there follow.

Across the year

In Skopje Fajr ranges from 02:46 at the height of summer to 05:22 in deep winter, a spread of about 156 minutes. The shift is gradual, a minute or so every few days, which is why a monthly table is more useful than a single day's figures.
