Prayer Times in Aden — 2024

If you are in Aden today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 04:35 (Fajr), 12:00 (Dhuhr), 15:11 (Asr), 18:12 (Maghrib) and 19:42 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Aden timezone (UTC+3), the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Aden sits in Aden, Yemen, at 12.7855°, 45.0187°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The listed population is about 800,000 people.

Aden is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 05:49 and Maghrib is at 18:12. Dhuhr (12:00) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Aden.

Calculation for Aden starts from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Muslims in Aden use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Aden is 330.8° from true north (NNW), about 1,107 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Sanaa (301 km), prayer times in Hargeisa (373 km), prayer times in Dire Dawa (494 km), prayer times in Harar (499 km), prayer times in Abha (661 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Aden is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
