At 13.1° latitude, Zinjibar is close to the equator, so prayer times barely move. In 2026, Maghrib stays between 17:29 (November 13) and 18:30 (July 2), a spread of only 1 h 01 min over the whole year, and Fajr between 04:13 and 05:12.
Zinjibar does not change its clocks in 2026: prayer times drift from day to day without any jump.
In Zinjibar, daylight lasts 12 h 54 min on June 13, the longest day, and 11 h 21 min on December 17, the shortest.
What latitude changes in Zinjibar
At 13.1° 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 Zinjibar.
When the angle is not reached, the “Muslim World League” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day.
No national convention was found for Yemen: times follow the most widely used method, Muslim World League (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17°).
