Prayer Times in Manama, Bahrain

Manama's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Bahrain. They are drawn from Manama's own coordinates (26.2279°N, 50.5857°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Manama's prayer times are worked out

From Manama, the Qibla is 246° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,217 km (756 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Manama's own coordinates (26.23°N, 50.59°E), not a national average. That is why Manama's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Manama timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Manama lies well east inside its Bahrain time zone. So the sun peaks about 15 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:35 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 21m near June down to 11h 55m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Manama 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 Jidd Ḩafş, Muharraq and Sitrah. Each is only a few minutes off Manama's clock.
