These are astronomical times for the city centre. The adhan at your own mosque may come a few minutes either side of them. Follow your local mosque.
The page tracks the sun day by day. The start of Ramadan and the dates of the two Eids are announced by a religious authority after the new crescent has been sighted; this calendar does not predict them and cannot.
Fajr at 19.5 degrees and Isha at 17.5 degrees below the horizon, Maghrib at sunset, and Asr when an object's shadow equals its own length. These are the angles of the Egyptian General Authority of Survey — Egypt's own official reckoning. Where a country publishes no official angles, this site falls back to the international Muslim World League figures; Alexandria is the first town here that can use its own country's instead.
