When each prayer time starts
The whole kingdom keeps one clock, but the sun does not reach every city at the same moment. Each time below is worked out from the city's coordinates by the rules in this table.
| Prayer | Starts when | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Fajr | The sun is 18.5 degrees below the horizon | Umm al-Qura method |
| Sunrise | The sun appears at the horizon; Fajr ends | Umm al-Qura method |
| Dhuhr | The sun passes its highest point | Umm al-Qura method |
| Asr | An object's shadow equals its length | Umm al-Qura method |
| Maghrib | Sunset | Umm al-Qura method |
| Isha | 90 minutes after Maghrib, 120 minutes in Ramadan | Umm al-Qura method |
For Fajr and Isha in particular, open your city: the page shows today, tomorrow, and the earliest and latest Fajr and Isha of the year.
Why prayer time changes from city to city
Dammam and Khobar in the east get Fajr and Maghrib before Riyadh, and Jeddah and Yanbu in the west get them after. Between Dammam and Jeddah alone the gap is more than half an hour. North and south matter too: in summer the days are longer in Tabuk and Arar than in Jazan and Najran, and in winter it is the other way round. One list cannot serve everyone, so every table on the site carries the name of its city.
Each city page also states how far it is from Makkah and from Riyadh, in minutes.

Questions about prayer time
How do I find prayer time near me?
Press the location button on this page. Your browser asks for permission before it shares your position, and the site only uses it to pick the nearest city with a page. If you decline, choose your city from the drop-down list.
What time is Fajr today?
That depends on the city. Fajr begins when the sun stands 18.5 degrees below the horizon, which happens at a slightly different hour in each place. Pick your city from the drop-down list or press the location button, and its page opens with today's Fajr and tomorrow's.
What time is Maghrib today?
Maghrib begins at sunset. The table of main cities above has today's Maghrib for the biggest cities, and every other city has it on its own page.
What time is Isha today?
Isha starts 90 minutes after Maghrib on the Umm al-Qura method, and 120 minutes after Maghrib in Ramadan. The exact time for your city is on its own page, and the table of main cities above shows Riyadh and Jeddah among others.
What time is the Jummah prayer?
Jummah is prayed at the time of Dhuhr on Friday, and each mosque announces when its khutbah begins. The Dhuhr time for your city is on its page. The call to the Friday prayer is mentioned in the Quran (Al-Jumu'ah 62:9).
Why are there two Asr times?
Two schools of calculation set the start of Asr. Most schools, and the Umm al-Qura method, start it when an object's shadow equals its length. The Hanafi school starts it when the shadow is twice as long. City pages show both rows, and neither is presented as the better one.
Are these the adhan times in my mosque?
Not necessarily. The site works the times out from the position of the sun and does not copy them from a mosque. If the adhan in your mosque differs by a minute or more, follow the mosque.
How often do the times update?
Every day at midnight, Riyadh time. Today's and tomorrow's times are always on the page, and the month table runs day by day.
