Taiz Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Taiz, Yemen

Prayer times in Taiz are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (13.58°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.

Taiz's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Yemen. They are drawn from Taiz's own coordinates (13.5795°N, 44.0209°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Taiz's prayer times are worked out

From Taiz, the Qibla is 334° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 979 km (608 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Taiz's own coordinates (13.58°N, 44.02°E), not a national average. That is why Taiz's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Taiz timetable through the year. With the Umm al-Qura method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 18m around June. It eases to 12h 38m by December. That is a 1h 40m swing, set by the city's latitude of 13.58°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Taiz 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. Taiz sits west of its Aden meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:01 PM. We also publish times for nearby Ibb, Zabīd and Dhamār. Each is only a few minutes off Taiz's clock.
