Prayer times in Dakar
Tuesday, 22 September 2026
| Fajr | 05:48 |
|---|---|

| Asr | 16:22 |
| Maghrib | 19:06 |

Which way to face
From Dakar, the Qibla is 74 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 Senegal and across Europe generally, and it is what most mosques there follow.
Across the year
In Dakar Fajr ranges from 05:20 at the height of summer to 06:25 in deep winter, a spread of about 65 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.
