Ramadan 2027 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Sehri and Iftar in Riyadh

For Riyadh, the evening fast opens at local sunset, shown as 5:18 pm today. The pre-dawn cutoff is calculated separately from the Fajr setting; sunrise is not used as the start of the fast. The page uses Riyadh’s coordinates (24.71, 46.68) and the Asia/Riyadh time zone.

Sunrise-to-sunset daylight in Riyadh lasts 11 hours 22 minutes today. Across the June and December solstices that daylight span differs by about 3 hours 4 minutes at this latitude. That helps explain why Ramadan feels very different when the lunar month returns in another season, but it should not be read as the fasting duration because Fajr occurs before sunrise.

For comparison, sunset in Tabuk is 5:54 pm today, 37 minutes later than in Riyadh. Travellers should therefore switch to the timetable for the place where they are actually observing the fast rather than carrying one city’s times across Saudi Arabia.

This timetable uses the Karachi prayer calculation setting. The calculation notes explain how the site handles Fajr, Isha and unusual daylight conditions, so that general methodology is not repeated on every location page.
