What latitude changes in Al-Ula
At 26.6° latitude, the Sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon every night of the year: Fajr and Isha at 18° exist all year round in Al-Ula.
When the angle is not reached, the “Umm al-Qura (Makkah)” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day, and Isha is counted in minutes after sunset.
In Al-Ula, times follow the country’s reference method, Umm al-Qura (Makkah) (Fajr at 18.5°, Isha 90 min after sunset).
