Qibla direction in Riyadh

244° SW

From Riyadh, the Kaaba in Makkah lies at 244° (SW), measured clockwise from true north. It is about 790 km away as the crow flies.

A phone compass points to magnetic north, which differs by a few degrees depending on where you are. The qibla compass in Nur corrects for that.

Ramadan

Ramadan 1448 begins on Monday, 8 February 2027 by the Umm al-Qura calendar. On the first day the fast in Riyadh lasts about 12 h 31 min (Fajr 05:12 to Maghrib 17:43). Many mosques follow the moon sighting, so the start can differ by a day.

How these times are calculated

Calculation method: Umm al-Qura (Fajr 18.5°, Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib). Asr by the standard rule (shadow equal to the object's length).

Why do apps and mosques show different times?

Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun must be below the horizon. Timetables use different angles, usually between 15° and 20°. One degree can easily mean five minutes.
There are two rules for Asr: standard (shadow as long as the object; Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) and Hanafi (twice the length). Hanafi Asr is later.
In summer it never gets fully dark at night in the UK and much of Europe. A fallback rule is needed then, such as a third of the night, and every timetable handles it a little differently.
Many mosques publish their own times and round or shift them by a few minutes. When in doubt, follow your mosque's timetable.

In the app you can pick your mosque's method under Settings → Calculation, switch Asr to Hanafi and shift every time by the minute.
