How Al Bahah's prayer times are worked out

From Al Bahah, the Qibla is 313° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 232 km (144 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Bahah's own coordinates (20.01°N, 41.47°E), not a national average. That is why Al Bahah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Al Bahah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al Bahah lies well west inside its Riyadh time zone. So the sun peaks about 22 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:11 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 47m near June down to 12h 17m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Bahah 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 Sabt Alalayah, Qal‘at Bīshah and Al Līth. Each is only a few minutes off Al Bahah's clock.
