Praying in Alexandria
Alexandria, Egypt's second city, is a Mediterranean metropolis of over 5 million people founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC. For a thousand years it was the intellectual capital of the ancient world — home to the Great Library and the Pharos lighthouse — and its modern incarnation is Egypt's great cosmopolitan port, where the corniche curves along the sea and the Qaitbay Citadel stands on the site of the ancient lighthouse.
Islamic Alexandria centres on the Al-Mursi Abul Abbas Mosque, dedicated to the 13th-century Sufi saint whose tomb lies beneath its dome, and the historic mosques of the old Anfushi quarter. The city's prayer rhythm follows the Mediterranean: long summer days push Fajr to around 3:15 AM in June with Maghrib near 8:00 PM, while winter compresses the day — December Maghrib falls around 5:00 PM and the corniche cafes fill as families stroll after prayers. Alexandria's sea air softens the heat, and Ramadan nights on the corniche are famous: after Taraweeh, crowds gather for feteer, mango juice and the cool breeze off the water. Egyptian mosques commonly use the Egyptian General Authority method — select 'Egypt' in the dropdown above to match local timetables.
