Tata (طاطا) is a large oasis of southern Morocco, at the edges of the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara, in the Bani valley. Located at roughly 29.75° north latitude and 7.98° west longitude, in an irrigated palm grove, it has an arid pre-Saharan climate: scorching summers, mild winters, date-palm groves. Renowned for its ksour, its rock engravings and its palm groves, Tata sees its low latitude give its prayer times a limited seasonal swing.
Tata is an old oasis of the Bani valley, a string of ksour and palm groves long tied to the trans-Saharan caravans. The region preserves important prehistoric rock engravings and a rich oasis heritage. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, within a Chleuh Amazigh setting.
Religious life in Tata combines the Maliki Islamic tradition with the Chleuh Amazigh identity of the south. The mosques of the town and the palm-grove ksour — several with Amazigh names — set the rhythm of daily life. The Friday prayer brings together oasis residents. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal and family dimension.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Tata 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 (~29.8° N) and the pre-Saharan climate give Tata prayer times with a limited seasonal swing, under intense summer heat. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:30 and Maghrib around 17:55; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:45 and Isha around 21:50–22:15 depending on the method. The clear pre-Saharan sky keeps the solar markers very sharp over the palm grove. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Tata is organised around its grand mosque and the palm-grove ksour mosques. Here are some of the most notable.
The town's main mosque, the religious heart of the oasis.
The 'Al-Otaiba' mosque, one of the town's main places of prayer.
'El Gantra' means the bridge. A mosque in a neighbourhood of the oasis.
The mosque of Taghramt ('the ksar' in Amazigh), in the palm grove.

Prayer times in Tata 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 Tatacorresponds 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.
