Current Time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

How Jeddah Keeps Time

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

Jeddah 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 Jeddah at 6:22 am today and sets at 5:52 pm — 11 hours 29 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:07 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (21.49, 39.19), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Jeddah has about 13 hours 27 minutes of daylight in June and 10 hours 49 minutes in December. The difference is about 2 hours 37 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
