What time is it in Bordj Bou Arreridj right now?
The time in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria is 5:38 pm, 17:38 on a 24 hour clock, on Thursday November 5, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Africa/Algiers rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Bordj Bou Arreridj sits at 36.07 degrees north and 4.76 degrees east, in the subtropical belt and 4,011 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 15.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 10.2 degrees west of that line. Those 10.2 degrees are worth 40 minutes 57 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 12:24 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over Bordj Bou Arreridj tonight
The moon is a waning crescent tonight, 26.0 days into its cycle and about 13% lit. The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 at 3:53 pm Algiers time, and the next new moon on November 9, 2026 at 8:01 am. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Bordj Bou Arreridj clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Bordj Bou Arreridj
There is no clock change scheduled in Africa/Algiers within the next 400 days, so Bordj Bou Arreridj stays at UTC+1 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Bordj Bou Arreridj an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.

The antipode of Bordj Bou Arreridj
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria and you come out at 36.07 degrees south, 175.24 degrees west. That point is near Tauranga, New Zealand. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Tauranga, New Zealand, 785 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 5:38 am on Friday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 36.07 degrees north becomes 36.07 degrees south, and 4.76 degrees east becomes 175.24 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Bordj Bou Arreridj is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-11, roughly twelve hours from Bordj Bou Arreridj, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Bordj Bou Arreridj
Today the sun rises in Bordj Bou Arreridj at 7:07 am and sets at 5:41 pm, giving 10 hours 34 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Bordj Bou Arreridj.

The sun is up in Bordj Bou Arreridj for 10 hours 34 minutes today, from 7:07 am to 5:41 pm. The moon rises in Bordj Bou Arreridj at 3:14 am and sets at 3:29 pm.

| Sun | Time in Bordj Bou Arreridj |

| Astronomical dawn | 5:40 am |
| Nautical dawn | 6:10 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:41 am |

| Sunset | 5:41 pm |
| Civil dusk | 6:08 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:38 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 7:08 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Bordj Bou Arreridj | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:41 am to 6:51 am | 0h 10m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:51 am to 7:44 am | 0h 53m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:05 pm to 5:58 pm | 0h 53m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:58 pm to 6:08 pm | 0h 10m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Bordj Bou Arreridj |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 3:14 am |
| Moonset | 3:29 pm |
| Phase | waning crescent, waning |
| Illumination | 15% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 25.8 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 385,200 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Thursday, November 5, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Delhi are 13 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 10:00 am in Bordj Bou Arreridj it is working hours in Bordj Bou Arreridj, London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Bordj Bou Arreridj
Seven days from November 5, 2026, computed for Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria at 36.07 degrees north, 4.76 degrees east, on the clock of Africa/Algiers. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Bordj Bou Arreridj
From Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria the qibla is 106.0 degrees on a true compass, which is east-southeast, or 16.0 degrees south of due east. The Kaaba is 3,759 km away, 2,336 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
