About Riyadh
Riyadh is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, set in the heart of the Najd plateau. It combines historic landmarks such as Masmak Fortress and the UNESCO-listed At-Turaif district in Diriyah with modern towers like Kingdom Centre. Summers are hot and winters mild, so day length — and with it the prayer times — shifts noticeably between the seasons.

How prayer times in Riyadh are calculated
Times are worked out from the Sun's position relative to Riyadh's coordinates: Fajr when the Sun is the method's set angle below the horizon, Dhuhr just after midday, Asr when shadows reach the set length, Maghrib at sunset and Isha after twilight ends or a fixed time after Maghrib. With Umm al-Qura, Isha is 90 minutes after Maghrib, or 120 minutes throughout Ramadan.
Mosques in Riyadh may call the adhan a minute or two apart from these times, depending on their location and the local timetable. For your exact spot, open prayer times for your current location.
