Boujdour (بوجدور) is an Atlantic port town of southern Morocco, in the Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra region, at Cape Boujdour. Located at roughly 26.13° north latitude and 14.48° west longitude, on the ocean's edge along the desert coast, it has a mild, windy coastal desert climate. Renowned for its cape, long feared by navigators, and for its fishing, Boujdour stands out for its prayer times of great seasonal stability.
Boujdour (Cape Bojador) is famous in the history of navigation: its cape was long considered impassable before being rounded in the 15th century. Today a fishing port of the Atlantic Sahara, the town lives from the sea. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, within the Hassani culture of the Sahara.
Religious life in Boujdour sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition and the Hassani culture of the Sahara. The town mosque and the prayer ground bring together fishermen and residents for the daily and Friday prayers. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension, typical of the towns of the Saharan coast.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Boujdour 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 very low latitude (~26.1° N) gives Boujdour prayer times of great seasonal stability: day length varies little over the year. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:55 and Maghrib around 18:55; in summer, Fajr falls around 05:55 and Isha around 21:30–21:50 depending on the method. Its far-western position makes its sunsets, by the clock, among the latest in Morocco. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
In Boujdour, religious life is organised around the town mosque and the prayer ground.
The town's large prayer ground (musalla), used notably for the great gatherings.
