City essentials

Time & prayer in Damascus
Local time in Damascus falls within the Asia/Damascus zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.
Sitting at a latitude of about 33.5° in the northern hemisphere, Damascus's day length varies clearly between the long days of summer and the shorter days of winter. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.
The prayer times shown for Damascus are calculated using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Damascus from the tools on this site.
