Prayer Times in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia

Buraydah's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Saudi Arabia. They are drawn from Buraydah's own coordinates (26.3260°N, 43.9750°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Buraydah's prayer times are worked out

From Buraydah, the Qibla is 219° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 689 km (428 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Buraydah's own coordinates (26.33°N, 43.98°E), not a national average. That is why Buraydah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Buraydah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Buraydah lies well west inside its Riyadh time zone. So the sun peaks about 12 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:08 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 22m near June down to 11h 54m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Buraydah 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 Unaizah, Ar Rass and Az Zulfī. Each is only a few minutes off Buraydah's clock.
