Aqaba's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Jordan. They are drawn from Aqaba's own coordinates (29.5267°N, 35.0078°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Aqaba's prayer times are worked out

From Aqaba, the Qibla is 151° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,022 km (635 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Aqaba's own coordinates (29.53°N, 35.01°E), not a national average. That is why Aqaba's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Aqaba timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Aqaba lies well west inside its Amman time zone. So the sun peaks about 48 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:38 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 38m near June down to 11h 41m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Aqaba come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. 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 Ma'an, Sharm el-Sheikh and Tabuk. Each is only a few minutes off Aqaba's clock.
