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 11:49 AM. We also publish times for nearby Bosaso, El Dibir and Aden. Each is only a few minutes off Mukalla's clock.
