How Ad Dir‘īyah's prayer times are worked out

From Ad Dir‘īyah, the Qibla is 243° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 780 km (485 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ad Dir‘īyah's own coordinates (24.75°N, 46.54°E), not a national average. That is why Ad Dir‘īyah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Ad Dir‘īyah timetable through the year. With the Umm al-Qura method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 12m around June. It eases to 12h 00m by December. That is a 3h 12m swing, set by the city's latitude of 24.75°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ad Dir‘īyah 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. Ad Dir‘īyah sits close to its Riyadh meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:51 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Riyadh, Al Kharj and Ad Dawādimī. Each is only a few minutes off Ad Dir‘īyah's clock.
