Lagouira (الكويرة), or La Güera, is a locality at the extreme southern tip of Morocco, in the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region, on the Cap Blanc peninsula facing Mauritania. Located at roughly 20.9° north latitude and 17.0° west longitude, it is one of the southernmost points of the Kingdom, on the edge of the Atlantic. A former colonial trading post now almost deserted, Lagouira has a mild coastal desert climate and stands out for prayer times of near-tropical stability.
Lagouira (La Güera) was founded as a Spanish trading post in the early 20th century, on the Cap Blanc peninsula shared with neighbouring Mauritania. Long a small fishing port, the locality is today largely abandoned, but remains a striking geographic landmark at the far south of the territory. The religious practice of the region follows the Maliki rite, within the Hassani culture of the Sahara.
The religious life of Lagouira sits, as across the whole great South, within the Maliki Islamic tradition and the Hassani culture of the Sahara. In this extreme, sparsely populated tip, the religious reference remains that of the Moroccan Maliki rite, with the attachment to prayer and the Quran characteristic of the Saharan populations.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Lagouira 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 latitude of about 20.9° N, well south of the Tropic of Cancer, Lagouira has prayer times of near-tropical stability: the length of the day hardly varies with the seasons. Unlike northern Morocco, summer barely lengthens the evenings and winter barely shortens the days. Its position far to the west 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.

Prayer times in Lagouira 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 Lagouiracorresponds 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.
