Current time in Mecca

Makkah is the holiest city in Islam and the spiritual center for Muslims around the world. It is home to Al-Masjid Al-Haram and the Kaaba, the sacred House of Allah toward which Muslims turn in prayer five times each day. Makkah is also the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the destination of millions of pilgrims who travel each year to perform Hajj and Umrah.

Makkah observes Saudi Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) throughout the year and does not use daylight saving time. The live clock at the top of this page updates automatically in your browser to display the current local time in Makkah.

Prayer times on this page are calculated using the Umm al-Qura method, the official calculation method used throughout Saudi Arabia. Located at approximately 21.4° north latitude, Makkah experiences relatively modest seasonal variations in daylight, so sunrise, sunset, and daily prayer times change gradually and only slightly over the course of the year.

You can also view the complete monthly prayer timetable, use the Prayer Clock to see the time remaining until the next prayer, and access the Qibla Finder to determine the direction of the Kaaba accurately from anywhere in the world.
