About Maghrib time in Riyadh
Maghrib adhan time in Riyadh is calculated at the moment the sun sets below the horizon: the time of iftar for the fasting person and the start of Maghrib prayer. This page relies on the Umm al-Qura convention adopted across the Kingdom and displays today's time, a countdown to the next adhan and a monthly table for every day of the month. Because Riyadh falls inside the Kingdom's official time zone, local Maghrib time may differ slightly from cities located further west or east within the same zone.
