Prayer times in Algeria

Algeria is a Muslim-majority country in which Sunni Islam of the Maliki school is the state religion under the constitution, with a small Ibadi minority concentrated in the M'zab valley (Ghardaia, Beni Isguen, El-Atteuf) and historically in the Mzab oases. Approximately 99 percent of the population is Muslim. The country has a deep Islamic scholarly tradition reaching back to the Almoravid and Almohad eras and continuing through the Ottoman regency and the formative role of the Association of Algerian Muslim Ulema (Jamaat al-Ulama al-Muslimin al-Jaza'iriyyin) in the twentieth-century independence movement. The Great Mosque of Algiers (Djamaâ El Djazaïr), opened in 2019 and the third-largest mosque in the world by total area, includes the world's tallest minaret at 265 meters. The Great Mosque of Tlemcen, originally built in 1136 under the Almoravids, is among the oldest functioning mosques in North Africa. The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Awqaf oversees the country's mosque network. eSalah uses the Algerian method (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) for Algerian cities, the official Ministry-published parameters.
