Here is a site which calculates the sunrise and sunset time for fasting according to the latitude and longitude of your area.  No matter where you are in the world, it can give your accurate sunrise and sunset for the fast.

This site will give you the direction for the Qublih:

Basic Baha'i Knowledge of Days, Months and Year:
  • Baha'is fast during the Baha'i month of 'Ala (meaning Loftiness), or from March 2 - March 20.
  • A Baha'i day starts and ends at sunset.
  • A Baha'i month consists of 19 days and a Baha'i year consists of 19 months plus 4 days (during leap year - 5 days) totaling to 365 days.

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. ~~Baha'u'llah

The chief idols in the desecrated temple of mankind are none other than the triple gods of Nationalism, Racialism and Communism, at whose altars governments and peoples, whether democratic or totalitarian, at peace or at war, of the East or of the West, Christian or Islamic, are, in various forms and in different degrees, now worshiping. ~~Shoghi Effendi, The Promised Day is Come
