Prayer times in Qal‘at Bīshah — common questions
What time is Fajr in Qal‘at Bīshah today?
Fajr in Qal‘at Bīshah begins at 04:26 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 Qal‘at Bīshah?
From Qal‘at Bīshah, the Qibla is 299.2° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Qal‘at Bīshah?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Saudi Arabia. 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.
How far is Qal‘at Bīshah from Makkah?
Qal‘at Bīshah lies approximately 329 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.

Day length in Qal‘at Bīshah ranges from about 10.9 hours at midwinter to 13.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 2.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
