Prayer Times Orientation Prayer times in Lima follow the five daily prayers: Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night). These times vary throughout the year due to Lima's latitude and seasonal changes in sunrise and sunset. The city operates on the America/Lima time zone. While the calculation method and Qibla direction are not specified here, Muslims in Lima orient themselves towards Mecca for prayer, with the city's distance to Mecca influencing the Qibla angle.
