Guelmim (كلميم) is a town of southern Morocco, the seat of the Guelmim-Oued Noun region, nicknamed 'the gate of the desert'. Located at roughly 28.99° north latitude and 10.06° west longitude, at the edge of the Sahara, it has an arid pre-Saharan climate: scorching summers, mild winters. Famous for its former camel market and its Hassani culture, Guelmim sees its low latitude give its prayer times a small seasonal swing.
Guelmim (Goulimine) was long a caravan crossroads between Morocco, the Sahara and sub-Saharan Africa, renowned for its great camel souk. A gateway to the desert, it blends Chleuh, Arab and Hassani (Sahrawi) populations. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, within a marked Saharan culture.
Religious life in Guelmim sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition, within the Hassani culture of the Sahara where attachment to the Quran is strong. The grand mosque and a network of neighbourhood mosques set the rhythm of daily life. The Friday prayer brings together merchants, settled nomads and residents. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Several mosques bear the names of the Prophet's companions.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Guelmim 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 (~29.0° N) and the southern position give Guelmim prayer times with a small seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:40 and Maghrib around 18:05; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:55 and Isha around 21:55–22:20 depending on the method. Located far to the west and south, the town has late sunsets by the clock, over an open desert horizon. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Guelmim has several mosques, several of which bear the names of the Prophet's companions. Here are some of the most notable.
'Al-Masjid al-Aadam' ('the great mosque'), the town's main place of prayer, on the N1.
A large mosque bearing the name of King Hassan II, one of the main places of prayer.
A mosque dedicated to Khalid ibn al-Walid, a great military commander of early Islam, 'the sword of God'.
A mosque dedicated to Saad ibn Muadh, chief of the Aws and an Ansar companion of the Prophet.
'Ar-Rahma' means divine mercy. A mosque on Boulevard El Khorchi.
