Current Time in Madinah, Saudi Arabia

How Madinah Keeps Time

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

Madinah 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 Madinah at 6:23 am today and sets at 5:47 pm — 11 hours 24 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:05 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (24.47, 39.61), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Madinah has about 13 hours 39 minutes of daylight in June and 10 hours 37 minutes in December. The difference is about 3 hours 2 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
