Prayer Times in Aden, Yemen
Prayer times in Aden are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (12.78°N). We use the Umm al-Qura method, the one followed across Yemen. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Aden's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Yemen. They are drawn from Aden's own coordinates (12.7796°N, 45.0385°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Aden's prayer times are worked out
From Aden, the Qibla is 331° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,109 km (689 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Aden's own coordinates (12.78°N, 45.04°E), not a national average. That is why Aden's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Aden timetable through the year. With the Umm al-Qura method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 14m around June. It eases to 12h 41m by December. That is a 1h 33m swing, set by the city's latitude of 12.78°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Aden 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. Aden sits west of its Aden meridian. The sun peaks about 7 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:44 AM. We also publish times for nearby Taiz, Ibb and Dhamār. Each is only a few minutes off Aden's clock.

Prayer times in Yemen
Yemen is almost entirely Muslim, divided between Shafi'i Sunnis and Zaydi Shia. The Shafi'is are historically strongest in the south and centre, the Zaydis in the northern highlands. Zaydism is a branch of Shia Islam whose jurisprudence sits unusually close to Sunni practice, so the two traditions' prayer times differ little. This page applies the Umm al-Qura calculation (Fajr 18.5°, with Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib) to the city's own coordinates. Yemen keeps a year-round UTC+3 clock. Its low latitude holds day length fairly steady through the year, and with it the fasting hours of Ramadan.
The Great Mosque of Sana'a
Sana'a's Great Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the world, founded in the earliest years of Islam. Tradition places its beginning in the Prophet's own lifetime. It is counted among the first built outside Mecca and Medina. It stands at the heart of the Old City of Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was here, during restoration in 1972, that the Sana'a manuscript came to light: among the oldest surviving fragments of the Qur'an anywhere. Yemen's mosques, Shafi'i and Zaydi alike, call the first-shadow Asr shown on this page.
Mosques in Aden
Mosques in and around Aden include مسجد الرحاب, مسجد الشيخ عبدالله, مسجد الحامد, مسجد باكثير, مسجد عبداللطيف العراقي and مسجد العسقلاني(البيحاني). The times on this page are worked out from Aden's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
