Riyadh is located at 24.77°N, 46.74°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Asia/Riyadh timezone (GMT+3). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Riyadh this falls around 11:52 in mid-summer and 11:43 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
