It sits about 80 km west of Mecca, so its prayer times are effectively identical to Mecca's (within 1–2 minutes). Coordinates: 21.4858°N, 39.1925°E. Method: Umm al-Qura (method=4).
For pilgrims arriving at King Abdulaziz International Airport and transferring to Mecca, the prayer times shown here apply to Jeddah; switch to the Mecca page when entering the Haram district.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which calculation method is used for Jeddah prayer times?
Jeddah uses method=4 (Umm al-Qura), the official Saudi calculation method — the same method as Mecca, Medina, and every Saudi city.
How do Jeddah prayer times differ from Mecca's?
Jeddah is only about 80 km west of Mecca, on the Red Sea coast. Prayer times differ by 1–2 minutes at most — the two cities share effectively the same longitude. A worshipper arriving at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and driving to Mecca for Umrah will find prayer times nearly identical.
Is Jeddah the gateway to Hajj and Umrah?
Yes. Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport serves millions of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims each year. The Haramain High Speed Rail connects Jeddah to Mecca in about 30 minutes. For pilgrims staying in Jeddah between visits to the Haramain, the prayer times on this page are accurate to the minute.
Does Jeddah have special mosques that broadcast prayer times?
The Al-Rahmah Mosque ('Floating Mosque') on Jeddah's Corniche is one of the city's iconic mosques. All of Jeddah's mosques follow the Umm al-Qura times, which match what you'd see on Dhikr.
Is Fajr in Jeddah noticeably earlier than other cities?
Jeddah's Fajr is at the same time as Mecca's (within a minute). Compared to Gulf cities further east like Riyadh or Dubai, Jeddah's Fajr arrives later because of the western longitude. This is just astronomical geography, not a difference in calculation method.
