About prayer times in Cairo

The Egyptian General Authority of Survey defines Fajr at 19.5° below the horizon and Isha at 17.5° — the Egyptian method used here and the default for much of Africa and parts of the Levant. Its Fajr comes earlier than the Muslim World League's, by around ten minutes in Cairo in midsummer.

Egypt reintroduced daylight saving time in 2023, and it shows in the year's figures: Fajr is earliest on the last morning before the clocks go forward at the end of April, not near the summer solstice, because the clock change moves every prayer an hour later overnight. The year-ahead table below is already in local clock time, the change included.

Questions

What time is Fajr in Cairo?
It moves through the year: in 2027 the earliest Fajr is 03:40 on 29 April and the latest 05:38 on 28 October, by the Egyptian General Authority method. Today's time is at the top of this page.
How long is the longest fast in Cairo?
From Fajr to Maghrib, 15 h 52 min around 22 June, against 11 h 45 min around 19 December. Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, so which of those it falls nearer changes over time.
Which direction is the qibla from Cairo?
136° from true north, along the great circle to the Kaaba, 1,287 km away.
Why does my app show different times for Cairo?
Apps choose different calculation methods. At the June solstice the Muslim World League method puts Fajr at 04:18, against 04:08 here — 10 minutes apart. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib barely move between methods; Fajr and Isha are where they part.
