Prayer times in Muscat, Oman are issued by the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs (MERA), which is responsible for the country's mosques and religious observances. Oman has a wide north-to-south geographic spread, from Musandam in the far north to Salalah in Dhofar in the south, resulting in prayer time differences of up to 20 minutes between the two extremes.
Oman uses the Muslim World League method for Fajr and Isha calculations. Muscat, as the capital and largest city, is the reference point for national prayer announcements. Salalah, being further south and significantly further east than most Omani cities, has distinctly different prayer times — particularly during summer monsoon season.
All times are in Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4). Oman does not observe daylight saving time.
