Şalālah Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Şalālah, Oman

Prayer times in Şalālah are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (17.02°N). We use the Umm al-Qura method, the one followed across Oman. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Şalālah's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Oman. They are drawn from Şalālah's own coordinates (17.0150°N, 54.0924°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Şalālah's prayer times are worked out

From Şalālah, the Qibla is 290° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,575 km (979 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Şalālah's own coordinates (17.02°N, 54.09°E), not a national average. That is why Şalālah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Şalālah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Şalālah lies well west inside its Muscat time zone. So the sun peaks about 31 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:21 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 33m near June down to 12h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Şalālah 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 Mukalla, El Dibir and ‘Ibrī. Each is only a few minutes off Şalālah's clock.
