Ramadan calendar for Cairo

Local timetable guidance

Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities places Muhammad Ali Mosque inside the Citadel of Salah al-Din in Cairo. Its account dates construction to 1848 and explains the Alabaster Mosque name by reference to marble wall panelling. The building is described as having an open court and a domed prayer hall, with two pulpits. The courtyard's copper clock tower is linked to a gift from Louis Philippe of France in 1845. These are sourced architectural and historical details, not a claim that museum visitor hours determine the congregation's daily prayer arrangements. GeoNames records Cairo under EG with the IANA time zone Africa/Cairo. Its published populated-place coordinates are the geographic reference for this entry, not a surveyed mosque location.

Common questions

Are these the mosque's official times?

No. These are calculations from city-centre coordinates. Mosque timetables may use different angles, adjustments and congregation times. Follow your local mosque.

Why can Asr times differ?

The Hanafi and majority shadow-length conventions give different Asr calculations. Choose the convention used by your local community; this tool does not give a ruling.

Are Ramadan dates confirmed?

No. The Umm al-Qura calendar supplies an estimated start for planning. Local moon sighting and official announcements determine the observed dates.

Is my location or timetable choice stored?

No. This tool uses a selected public city, not your private location. Selections remain on this page and are not saved to a member account.
