Today's Salah Times in Dakar
Dawn breaks over Dakar at 05:38. Meet it in sujood and the rest of the day arranges itself.
A Horizon-Based Clock
In essence the prayer calendar in Dakar is a horizon-based clock; 05:38 simply reads where the sun is, not what time it is.
Astronomical → Nautical → Civil
Fajr at 05:38 in Dakar marks the start of astronomical dawn; nautical and civil dawn follow before 06:54 brings the sun above the horizon.
Longitude Footprint
Each 1° of longitude shifts Fajr by roughly four minutes — Dakar sits at 17.5° west, anchoring its dawn at 05:38.
In Forty-Eight Hours
Two days from now, Dakar’s Fajr will move only a few minutes off today’s 05:38 — your routine doesn’t need to change, only your awareness.
Mid-Month Marker
A useful habit in Dakar: every fifteen days, glance at Fajr — the calendar today reads 05:38, your next checkpoint is two weeks away.
A Generous Ramadan Night
With about 24h 0m between Maghrib and Fajr at 05:38, Dakar affords a calm pace — taraweeh, sleep, qiyam and suhoor without crowding.
Devices Away by 22:08
Putting screens down at 22:08 protects melatonin and protects Fajr at 05:38; the two are linked more tightly than most people realise.
Order of the First Hour
After 05:38 in Dakar, a five-minute Qur’an, a short walk and a glass of water set the tone for the rest of the day.
