Plan the month

The calendar keeps this city selected and carries your method, Asr convention and adjustments into every row, the CSV download and the print layout.

Check the context

The preset for Cairo is Egyptian. It is a starting point, not a statement that every mosque in the city follows it. Compare the result with your mosque’s timetable and change the method or Asr convention if they differ.

These are calculated start times. Iqamah, Jumu’ah and Tarawih schedules are set by each mosque and are not published here.
