How Seasons Change Sunrise & Sunset in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia follows the northern seasonal clock: longest days around 21 June, shortest around 21 December. At the Riyadh reference in 2026, June 21 sunrise is 05:05 AM and sunset 06:45 PM (13h 40m); December 21 is 06:32 AM / 05:09 PM (10h 37m).

Saudi Arabia keeps a fixed civil offset year-round, so clocks do not jump in spring or autumn. Seasonal sunrise changes come from Earth's tilt and orbit, not from Daylight Saving Time.

Latitude still sets day length. In June, Tabuk (28.4° ) has 13h 57m of daylight versus 13h 13m in Abha (18.2°). In December those figures are 10h 20m and 11h 2m.

Listed cities share one civil timezone, but they still span about 14° of longitude (~55 minutes of true solar time). On 21 June, Khobar sunrise is 04:47 AM while Tabuk is 05:37 AM on the same clock.

Saudi Arabia uses Arabia Standard Time year-round. Khobar on the Gulf prints an earlier sunrise than Tabuk on the Red Sea because longitude still wins on one clock.

Mecca and Medina tables matter for prayer windows; official sunrise is a geometric disk on a flat horizon, which desert haze and mountains can hide for minutes.
