Prayer Times in Benghazi

Today in Benghazi (Monday, 9 November 2026, 29 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 05:32, sunrise at 07:03, Dhuhr at 12:25, Asr at 15:22, Maghrib at 17:44 and Isha at 19:05 local time (UTC+2).

The times are calculated for 32.1167°, 20.0667° with the Egyptian General Authority of Survey (Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5°) method, the convention most widely used in Libya, and the Standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) rule for Asr. Your local mosque may add a few minutes of precaution or use a different method, so its timetable takes precedence.

The qibla from Benghazi is 116° from true north (ESE), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 2,288 km away. Today at 07:54 the sun stands exactly in the direction of the qibla, so shadows point directly away from it, an easy way to check the direction without a compass.

On the June solstice, the longest day of the year in Benghazi, Fajr is at 03:43, Maghrib at 19:49 and Isha at 21:27; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 16 h 06 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 06:01 and Maghrib at 17:39, a fast of only 11 h 38 min.

Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier every year, so over a 33-year cycle the fasting day in Benghazi ranges between these two lengths. See the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Benghazi for suhoor and iftar times.
