Prayer Times in Abha, Saudi Arabia

Abha's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Saudi Arabia. They are drawn from Abha's own coordinates (18.2164°N, 42.5053°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Abha's prayer times are worked out

From Abha, the Qibla is 322° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 453 km (282 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abha's own coordinates (18.22°N, 42.51°E), not a national average. That is why Abha's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Abha timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Abha lies well west inside its Riyadh time zone. So the sun peaks about 17 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:07 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 39m near June down to 12h 22m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abha come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Khamis Mushait, Bariq and Şabyā. Each is only a few minutes off Abha's clock.
