Prayer Times in Mukalla, Yemen
Prayer times in Mukalla are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (14.54°N). We use the Umm al-Qura method, the one followed across Yemen. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Mukalla's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Yemen. They are drawn from Mukalla's own coordinates (14.5425°N, 49.1242°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Mukalla's prayer times are worked out
From Mukalla, the Qibla is 309° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,245 km (774 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Mukalla's own coordinates (14.54°N, 49.12°E), not a national average. That is why Mukalla's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Mukalla timetable through the year. With the Umm al-Qura method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 22m around June. It eases to 12h 35m by December. That is a 1h 47m swing, set by the city's latitude of 14.54°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Mukalla 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. Mukalla sits east of its Aden meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:41 AM. We also publish times for nearby Bosaso, El Dibir and Aden. Each is only a few minutes off Mukalla's clock.

Prayer times in Yemen
Yemen is almost entirely Muslim, divided between Shafi'i Sunnis and Zaydi Shia. The Shafi'is are historically strongest in the south and centre, the Zaydis in the northern highlands. Zaydism is a branch of Shia Islam whose jurisprudence sits unusually close to Sunni practice, so the two traditions' prayer times differ little. This page applies the Umm al-Qura calculation (Fajr 18.5°, with Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib) to the city's own coordinates. Yemen keeps a year-round UTC+3 clock. Its low latitude holds day length fairly steady through the year, and with it the fasting hours of Ramadan.
The Great Mosque of Sana'a
Sana'a's Great Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the world, founded in the earliest years of Islam. Tradition places its beginning in the Prophet's own lifetime. It is counted among the first built outside Mecca and Medina. It stands at the heart of the Old City of Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was here, during restoration in 1972, that the Sana'a manuscript came to light: among the oldest surviving fragments of the Qur'an anywhere. Yemen's mosques, Shafi'i and Zaydi alike, call the first-shadow Asr shown on this page.
