Bir Anzarane (بئر أنزران) is an isolated locality in the far south of Morocco, in the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region, in the heart of the desert between Dakhla and the Saharan interior. Located at roughly 23.9° north latitude and 15.4° west longitude, it has an arid desert climate: intense heat, drought and vast horizons of sand and rock. A former watering point and a stop on the Western Sahara tracks, Bir Anzarane is characterised by very stable prayer times through the year.
Bir Anzarane ('the well of Anzarane') is above all a watering point and a stop on the Saharan tracks, in a region of nomadic settlement. Today a simple desert locality, it lives to the rhythm of the desert and its few inhabitants. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, within the Hassani culture.
Religious life in Bir Anzarane sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition and the Hassani culture of the Sahara. In these expanses where settlement is sparse, the mosque remains an essential landmark for the daily prayer and the Friday gathering. Ramadan keeps a communal dimension marked by the solidarity characteristic of desert regions.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Bir Anzarane 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 (~23.9° N), near the tropic, gives Bir Anzarane prayer times of great seasonal stability. In both winter and summer, the length of the day varies little, so the gap between the two seasons' times stays moderate: Fajr shifts from a late winter night to an early summer sunrise, without the very late evenings of the northern regions. The switch to standard time during Ramadan shifts all the times by about an hour. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.

Prayer times in Bir Anzerane are calculated using the official methods of Morocco's Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs. The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — shift a little each day as the sun's position changes. Sunrise (Shuruk) is shown too: it marks the end of the valid window for the Fajr prayer.
Each prayer is announced by the adhan, the call to prayer. The adhan time in Bir Anzeranecorresponds 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.
The Hijri dates shown follow the Moroccan lunar calendar, which is based on the official rukyat (moon sighting) and can differ by a day from the Saudi calendar. Note that Morocco moves its clock back by one hour during Ramadan.
