00 — Overview

Time & prayer in Addis Ababa

Local time in Addis Ababa falls within the Africa/Addis_Ababa zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.

Sitting at a latitude of about 9.0° in the northern hemisphere, Addis Ababa's day length stays remarkably steady all year, with only small differences between summer and winter. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.

The prayer times shown for Addis Ababa are calculated using the Muslim World League. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
