Riyadh is the capital city of Saudi Arabia and an urban center of immense significance, serving as a political and functional hub of the Kingdom. It is the most populated city in Saudi Arabia with a population of 7.6 million people approximately. Furthermore, the majority of its residents are Muslims and in order to facilitate them, there are around 18,073 mosques in Riyadh.

In Islam, the position of the sun determines the salah timings. Therefore, in Saudi Arabia, these timings vary from area to area and day to day just like in Riyadh and Jeddah. As Riyadh is quite far from Jeddah, the salah timings of Jeddah and Riyadh are different.
