Latakia's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Syria. They are drawn from Latakia's own coordinates (35.5312°N, 35.7909°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Latakia's prayer times are worked out

From Latakia, the Qibla is 165° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,617 km (1,005 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Latakia's own coordinates (35.53°N, 35.79°E), not a national average. That is why Latakia's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Latakia timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Latakia lies well west inside its Damascus time zone. So the sun peaks about 45 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:35 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 23m near June down to 11h 16m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Latakia 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 Jablah, Samandağ and Ţarţūs. Each is only a few minutes off Latakia's clock.
