Prayer Times in Tyre, Lebanon Today

Tyre prayer times today — Sour's Phoenician harbour at Lebanon's southern edge

Tyre — Sour in Arabic, searched as both tyre prayer times and sour prayer times — occupies Lebanon's southernmost stretch of Mediterranean coast, its ancient insular quarter and Roman hippodrome inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside a harbour where fishermen still haul nets before dawn. Tyre prayer times are calculated from coordinates at roughly 33.27°N, the lowest latitude of any major Lebanese city on this platform, which means Tyre's Fajr arrives slightly later and its summer Maghrib slightly earlier than Beirut's on the same date even under the identical Egyptian Survey method.

Residents of the old city peninsula, the Al-Bass archaeological zone, and the newer districts spreading inland toward Qana all share one daily table, recalculated from Tyre's own position rather than copied from Sidon forty kilometres north.

Fajr and Isha under the Egyptian Survey Authority angles

Fajr prayer time Tyre is set at 19.5 degrees below the horizon and Isha prayer time Tyre at 17.5 degrees, the Egyptian General Authority of Survey angles applied as method 5 across Lebanon. Tyre's southern latitude produces shorter winter days and longer summer evenings than Tripoli in the north, a seasonal swing Ramadan observers notice when the holy month rotates through the calendar. All times run on Asia/Beirut, Lebanon's national timezone, with this page reflecting whichever UTC offset — plus two or plus three — is currently active.

Dhuhr and Asr beside the ruins and the working port

Dhuhr quiets the fish market near the harbour as merchants cover their stalls briefly, while Asr prayer time Tyre often falls as afternoon light slants across the Al-Bass necropolis columns and tour groups begin leaving the archaeological park. Mosques in the old city and the inland neighbourhoods of Borj el-Shamali follow this same calculated schedule.

Why Tyre's latitude matters for South Lebanon

As Lebanon's southernmost major coastal city, Tyre anchors prayer-time references for communities across the border region who look to Sour rather than Beirut for their local sun. The Egyptian Survey method calculates each city from its own coordinates, and Tyre's position at 33.2705°N, 35.2033°E produces times measurably different from northern cities like Tripoli at 34.44°N — a gap of several minutes at Fajr across the seasons. Residents of nearby villages who work the orange groves and olive terraces check Tyre's page because it reflects their latitude more accurately than the capital's.

Jumu'ah in the old city and Borj el-Shamali mosques

Jummah prayer time Tyre gathers Friday worshippers at mosques in the old city's narrow lanes and at larger jami' mosques in Borj el-Shamali and the inland districts, where the Shia-majority population of South Lebanon maintains a strong mosque culture. The adhan across Tyre's districts matches this page's calculated moment; differences between congregations are almost always khutbah length and iqama delay rather than a different Fajr or Maghrib standard.

Ramadan beside the hippodrome and along the harbour wall

Tyre's Ramadan evenings blend archaeological heritage with living tradition: families break fast at Maghrib prayer time Tyre with views toward the sea that Phoenician sailors knew three thousand years ago, while Suhoor ends with Fajr prayer time Tyre for households in the orange-growing hinterland. The monthly Tyre calendar is essential during summer Ramadans, when the long daylight hours of this southern latitude make precise Maghrib timing especially important.

Qibla direction and travel in South Lebanon

From Tyre, the Qibla points south-east toward Makkah; our Qibla direction tool helps confirm the bearing in the old city's winding lanes. Travellers heading north should compare with Sidon prayer times, while those continuing to the Bekaa Valley can check Zahle prayer times. The Hijri calendar tracks Ramadan and Eid alongside this page.

Frequently asked questions about Tyre prayer times

Is Tyre the same as Sour?

Yes. Tyre is the English name and Sour the Arabic name for the same city; both search terms lead to this page and the same calculated schedule.

Are Tyre times the same as Sidon's?

No. Tyre sits further south at a lower latitude, so Fajr and Maghrib differ by one to two minutes from Sidon's on the same date despite sharing the same method and timezone.

Does Tyre use Asia/Beirut like Beirut?

Yes. All of Lebanon uses the Asia/Beirut timezone on this platform, with the Egyptian Survey method applied uniformly from Tripoli to Tyre.

Phoenician stones, fishing nets, and sunset over the hippodrome

Tyre's fishermen mend nets on the quay through Asr, their boats rocking beside ruins where purple dye once made this city famous across the ancient Mediterranean. Roman columns at Al-Bass cast long shadows toward Maghrib in every season, and the old insular city's stone lanes — some barely wide enough for two people — carry the adhan from minarets that have stood over this harbour for centuries. Tyre's identity as both open-air museum and working port means visitors checking prayer times here may be UNESCO tourists, UNIFIL personnel, or local families whose grandparents never left these streets — all relying on the same Egyptian Survey calculation that gives South Lebanon its own precise daily anchor.
