Finding accurate prayer times in Jeddah shouldn’t be a daily struggle — yet one website says Fajr is at 5:10, another says 5:25, and your masjid’s timetable shows something else entirely. The confusion usually comes down to one thing: the calculation method behind the numbers.
This page gives you live, accurate salah times for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — computed for today’s date with the Umm al-Qura method (the official method of Saudi Arabia). Select your city in the timetable above, or tap “Use my location” for times wherever you are in Jeddah.
Prayer Times in Jeddah Today
The five daily prayers in Jeddah follow the sun, so times shift a little every day — longer summer days stretch the gaps, shorter winter days compress them. The timetable above updates automatically for today’s date. The five prayers: Fajr (dawn, before sunrise), Dhuhr (just after midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (immediately at sunset — this is also Iftar time in Ramadan), and Isha (night, after twilight disappears).
Calculation Method Used in Jeddah
We use the Umm al-Qura calculation (the official method of Saudi Arabia). Different authorities define dawn and twilight at slightly different angles below the horizon, which is why timetables can differ by a few minutes. For the most consistent results, match the widget’s settings to your local masjid in Jeddah — and when in doubt, follow your local mosque.
Most mosques in Jeddah use the Standard (Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanbali) Asr calculation — Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its length. This is the default in the widget above.
