Prayer Times in Amman — 2029

Prayer times in Amman today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 04:46, Sunrise 06:11, Dhuhr 12:37, Asr 16:12, Maghrib 19:03, Isha 20:21. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Amman timezone (UTC+3), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Amman: 31.9454, 35.9284. Time zone Asia/Amman (UTC+3) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 4.0 million people.

For the latitude of Amman, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:11 and Maghrib is 19:03. Dhuhr (12:37) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Jordan, and why this page is calculated from Amman’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Amman page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). 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.

Travellers through Amman should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Amman is 160.8° from true north (SSE), about 1,232 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 Zarqa (20 km), prayer times in Irbid (68 km), prayer times in Ramallah (68 km), prayer times in Jerusalem (70 km), prayer times in Nablus (71 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.

The full August grid is on the Amman timetable for August 2026. A year view lives at prayer times in Amman for 2026. More cities in Jordan are listed on the Jordan prayer times page. Figures refresh automatically each day.

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 Amman is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
