Bni Drar (بني درار) is a town of the Angad plain, in the Oriental region (province of Oujda-Angad), north of Oujda, near the Algerian border. Located at roughly 34.85° north latitude and 2.00° west longitude, in an agricultural plain, it has a semi-arid continental climate: cool winters, hot summers.

Bni Drar is an agricultural town of the Angad plain, north of Oujda, long devoted to cereals and livestock. Near the Algerian border, it is a rural crossroads of the Oriental. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Bni Drar sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition of the Oriental, carried by a network of neighbourhood mosques. The Friday prayer brings together farmers and residents. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Notably, one mosque bears the name of Amina bint Wahb, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Bni Drar 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 high latitude (~34.9° N) and the eastern position give Bni Drar prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:15 and Maghrib around 17:25; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:05 and Isha around 21:55–22:25 depending on the method. Located in the far east of the country, the town has some of the earliest sunrises and sunsets in Morocco. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Bni Drar has several neighbourhood mosques, including one dedicated to the Prophet's mother. Here are some of the most notable.
