How prayer times are calculated in Saudi Arabia

Pages for Saudi Arabia use the Umm al-Qura, Makkah method: Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Times are shown in local time (UTC+3). In the capital Riyadh, Fajr is about 3:33 AM and Maghrib 6:45 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:09 AM and Maghrib at 5:09 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 36 min to 13 h 40 min.

Our cities in Saudi Arabia stretch from al Haql in the west to Khobar in the east, and from Turaif in the north to Şāmitah in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Khobar about 61 minutes before al Haql, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Riyadh is no substitute for that of your own city.

Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.
