What time is it in Al Ahmadi right now?
The time in Al Ahmadi, Kuwait is 5:21 pm, 17:21 on a 24 hour clock, on Friday November 6, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Asia/Kuwait rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Al Ahmadi sits at 29.08 degrees north and 48.08 degrees east, just outside the tropics and 3,233 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 45.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 3.1 degrees east of that line. Those 3.1 degrees are worth 12 minutes 20 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:31 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Al Ahmadi time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Al Ahmadi, Kuwait is Asia/Kuwait. Right now it is running at UTC+3 and the abbreviation in force is UTC+3. Al Ahmadi does not change its clocks at any point in the year. The offset stays at UTC+3 in January and in July alike, so no conversion involving Al Ahmadi ever needs a seasonal footnote.

Best time to call Al Ahmadi
Treating a working day as 9am to 6pm on both sides, this is the window the two cities genuinely share. Some of these pairs have no shared working hour at all, which is worth knowing before a meeting is proposed.

Cities on Asia/Kuwait time
5 of our cities keep Asia/Kuwait, so every one of them reads 5:21 pm at this moment and changes its clocks on the same night as Al Ahmadi. Nearest first:

|---|---|---|
| Sabah as Salim, Kuwait | 5:21 pm | 20 km |

Moon phase over Al Ahmadi tonight
The moon is a waning crescent tonight, 26.9 days into its cycle and about 7% lit. The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 at 5:53 pm Kuwait time, and the next new moon on November 9, 2026 at 10:01 am. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Al Ahmadi clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Al Ahmadi
There is no clock change scheduled in Asia/Kuwait within the next 400 days, so Al Ahmadi stays at UTC+3 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Al Ahmadi an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.

The antipode of Al Ahmadi
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Al Ahmadi, Kuwait and you come out at 29.08 degrees south, 131.92 degrees west. That point is in the South Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Tauranga, New Zealand, 4,852 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 3:21 am on Saturday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 29.08 degrees north becomes 29.08 degrees south, and 48.08 degrees east becomes 131.92 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Al Ahmadi is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-9, roughly twelve hours from Al Ahmadi, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Al Ahmadi
Today the sun rises in Al Ahmadi at 6:04 am and sets at 4:58 pm, giving 10 hours 55 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Al Ahmadi.
Sun and moon in Al Ahmadi today
The sun is up in Al Ahmadi for 10 hours 55 minutes today, from 6:04 am to 4:58 pm. The moon rises in Al Ahmadi at 3:12 am and sets at 3:04 pm. The next phase is the new moon on November 9, 2026. It is 9% lit at the moment, a waning crescent, thinning by about 6.0 percentage points a day.
| Sun | Time in Al Ahmadi |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:43 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:11 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:39 am |
| Sunrise | 6:04 am |
| Solar noon | 11:31 am |
| Sunset | 4:58 pm |
| Civil dusk | 5:23 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 5:51 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 6:19 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Al Ahmadi | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:39 am to 5:49 am | 0h 10m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:49 am to 6:37 am | 0h 48m |
| Evening golden hour | 4:25 pm to 5:13 pm | 0h 48m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:13 pm to 5:23 pm | 0h 10m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Al Ahmadi |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 3:12 am |
| Moonset | 3:04 pm |
| Phase | waning crescent, waning |
| Illumination | 9% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 26.7 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 388,300 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Friday, November 6, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Delhi are 13 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 12:00 pm in Al Ahmadi it is working hours in Al Ahmadi, London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Al Ahmadi
Seven days from November 6, 2026, computed for Al Ahmadi, Kuwait at 29.08 degrees north, 48.08 degrees east, on the clock of Asia/Kuwait. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |

Dhuhr is solar noon at Al Ahmadi, Kuwait, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Al Ahmadi
From Al Ahmadi, Kuwait the qibla is 226.1 degrees on a true compass, which is southwest, or 43.9 degrees north of due west. The Kaaba is 1,188 km away, 738 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Al Ahmadi, Kuwait to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Al Ahmadi, Kuwait before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.

A live clock showing the current time in Al Ahmadi, Kuwait, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Asia/Kuwait from the time zone database, so it stays right when Al Ahmadi changes its clocks, and it shows UTC+3 to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
