Prayer times in Jeddah

Jeddah is about seventy kilometres west of Makkah on the Red Sea coast, which puts its prayers two to three minutes later. Close enough that a Makkah timetable will not mislead you, far enough that the difference is real.

Why timetables disagree

Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun sits below the horizon, and different authorities settled on different angles. A few minutes of variation between two timetables for Jeddah is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to Umm al-Qura University here and lets you change it.

Across the year, Fajr in Jeddah ranges from about 04:13 at its earliest to 05:43 at its latest. That spread is the single biggest reason a printed timetable goes stale.

Asr, and the two calculations

Asr is the one prayer where the difference is large rather than marginal. The Hanafi calculation places it noticeably later than the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali one — in Jeddah today, about 60 minutes later. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.

Getting the adhan in Jeddah

Mozzi plays a real call to prayer at each time rather than a notification chime, and on iOS 26 it can sound through Silent mode and Focus the way an alarm does. Times are calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal.
