The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 5:11 am Casablanca time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 4:49 pm.

How far Dchira El Jihadia is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Dchira El Jihadia is Inezgane, Morocco at 2 km, and the furthest is North Shore, New Zealand at 19,197 km, which is 96% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Dchira El Jihadia

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Dchira El Jihadia, Morocco and you come out at 30.37 degrees south, 170.45 degrees east. That point is near North Shore, New Zealand. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is North Shore, New Zealand, 818 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 3:28 am on Monday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 30.37 degrees north becomes 30.37 degrees south, and 9.55 degrees west becomes 170.45 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Dchira El Jihadia is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-11, roughly twelve hours from Dchira El Jihadia, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Dchira El Jihadia

Today the sun rises in Dchira El Jihadia at 7:29 am and sets at 7:29 pm, giving 11 hours 59 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Dchira El Jihadia.

Sun and moon in Dchira El Jihadia today

The sun is up in Dchira El Jihadia for 11 hours 59 minutes today, from 7:29 am to 7:29 pm. The moon sets in Dchira El Jihadia at 8:10 am and comes up again at 7:49 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.

Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.

Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.

Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Dchira El Jihadia

Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Dchira El Jihadia, Morocco at 30.37 degrees north, 9.55 degrees west, on the clock of Africa/Casablanca. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Dchira El Jihadia, Morocco, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.

Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.

Qibla direction from Dchira El Jihadia

From Dchira El Jihadia, Morocco the qibla is 89.3 degrees on a true compass, which is east, or 0.7 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 4,999 km away, 3,106 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Dchira El Jihadia, Morocco to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.

The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Dchira El Jihadia, Morocco before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
