Assa (أسا) is an oasis town of southern Morocco, in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region (province of Assa-Zag), at the edges of the Sahara. Located at roughly 28.61° north latitude and 9.43° west longitude, in a palm grove of the southern Draa, it has an arid pre-Saharan climate: scorching summers, mild winters. Renowned for its old ksar and its zawiya, Assa sees its low latitude give its prayer times a limited seasonal swing.
Assa is an old oasis organised around a perched ksar and a venerated zawiya, long a caravan stop and a religious centre of the Saharan south. Its moussem and its earthen heritage make it a landmark of oasis culture. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, tinged with Sufi and Hassani tradition.
Religious life in Assa is marked by its ksar and its zawiya, within the Maliki and Sufi tradition of the south. The old mosque of Afella Assa and the neighbourhood mosques set the rhythm of religious life. The Friday prayer and the moussems take on a particular intensity here, carried by the religious attachment of the Saharan populations.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Assa follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The low latitude (~28.6° N) and the pre-Saharan climate give Assa prayer times with a limited seasonal swing, under intense summer heat. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:35 and Maghrib around 18:00; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:50 and Isha around 21:50–22:15 depending on the method. The clear pre-Saharan sky keeps the solar markers very sharp. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.

Prayer times in Assa are calculated using the official methods of Morocco's Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs.

Each prayer is announced by the adhan, the call to prayer. The adhan time in Assacorresponds to the start of each prayer listed above: Fajr at dawn, then Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib at sunset and Isha. Mosques across the city follow these same official times.
