Prayer times in Ar Riyāḑ — common questions
What time is Fajr in Ar Riyāḑ today?
Fajr in Ar Riyāḑ begins at 04:43 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from Ar Riyāḑ?
From Ar Riyāḑ, the Qibla is 138.9° from true north — roughly SE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Ar Riyāḑ?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Egypt. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Ar Riyāḑ?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Ar Riyāḑ's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
How far is Ar Riyāḑ from Makkah?
Ar Riyāḑ lies approximately 1404 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
