Aden Prayer Times

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 11:57 AM. We also publish times for nearby Taiz, Ibb and Dhamār. Each is only a few minutes off Aden's clock.
