Fajr is celebrated during the early dawn breaking on the same day but at various hours in various countries of North Africa and the Middle East. The sunrise arrangements in the Maghreb region to the Levant illustrate the contribution of geography and time zone towards day-to-day life. The knowledge of these periods is significant to everyday life, prayers, farming, as well as cultural practices, which rely to a significant degree on the movements of the sun. It will involve a more detailed analysis of the Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, Algerian, Tunisian, and Moroccan times of sunrise.

In the eastern Mediterranean, Syria (4:51 AM), Jordan (5:00 AM), and Egypt (5:22 AM) were the first places where the sun rose. Such differences are determined by both the longitude and latitude, indicating that the geography determines the rhythm of the day.

The latest sunrise was witnessed in Algeria in North Africa at 5:27 AM, with Tunisia recording the dawn at 4:52 AM.  On the extreme West, at the Atlantic coast, Morocco recorded the first sunrise of 4:25 AM, showing the measure of distance in the movement of the daylight patterns to the east.
