Prayer Times in Masqaţ, Oman

Praying in Masqaţ

There are around 11 hours and 19 minutes between sunrise and sunset in Masqaţ today. That number is the one driving the whole timetable: lengthen the day and Isha moves back, shorten it and the afternoon prayers crowd together.

Which way to face in Masqaţ

From this city the direction is west, or 266° if you prefer the number. That puts the Kaaba roughly 1,941 km — 1,206 miles — from here.

How the times are worked out

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

How much the times move

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Masqaţ brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

Fajr opens the day at 4:51 am, well before first light. You have until 6:10 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:49 am; Asr comes round at 3:53 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:29 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 6:59 pm. That gives Masqaţ roughly 11 hours and 19 minutes of daylight today.
