Current Time in Abha, Saudi Arabia

How Abha Keeps Time

Abha keeps Riyadh time, UTC+3. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Abha; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Abha runs on the Asia/Riyadh zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+3 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Abha at 6:06 am today and sets at 5:41 pm — 11 hours 36 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 11:54 am. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (18.22, 42.51), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Abha has about 13 hours 13 minutes of daylight in June and 11 hours 2 minutes in December. The difference is about 2 hours 11 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
