Guelta Zemmour (كلتة زمور) is a small locality of the interior of the Moroccan Atlantic Sahara, in the Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra region. Established near a guelta (a natural water point) in the middle of the desert, it lives in an environment of arid steppes and vast expanses. Its prayer times follow, as everywhere in the Kingdom, the calculation of the Ministry of Habous.
Guelta Zemmour takes its name from a guelta — the rocky basins that hold water in the desert and around which life is organised. A stop on the Saharan tracks, the locality is shaped by the Hassani nomadic way of life. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Guelta Zemmour sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition and the Hassani culture of the Sahara. Around the local mosque, residents gather for the daily prayer and that of Friday. Ramadan keeps a communal dimension marked by the solidarity typical of the desert regions.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Guelta Zemmour 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.
At a very low latitude of the Sahara, Guelta Zemmour has prayer times of great seasonal stability: day length varies little over the year. Its western position makes sunsets late by the clock. The switch to standard time during Ramadan shifts all the times by about an hour. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
