About prayer times in Mecca
Prayer times in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, shift a little every day as the sun's path changes through the year. Muslims here observe five daily prayers — Fajr before dawn, Dhuhr after midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset, and Isha at night — and this page gives the exact time of each, for every day of 2026. SalahTime computes them for Mecca (21.3891, 39.8579) with precise solar-position mathematics, following the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention used in Saudi Arabia. The “Today” card above always shows the current day's times, calculated live in your browser.
Times here follow the Umm al-Qura University of Makkah convention (18.5° for Fajr, Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib) — the official standard across Saudi Arabia, and the same convention behind the printed calendars distributed in Mecca.
Mecca keeps Asia/Riyadh time (UTC+03:00), with no daylight-saving changes in 2026. SalahTime computes against the IANA timezone database, so any clock change is applied automatically — the times here always match the local clock in Mecca.
