Salah times in Syria.

Syria, with a pre-war population of around 22 million, is one of the most historically significant lands in Islamic civilisation: Damascus was the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate from 661 to 750 CE, and the country contains many of the earliest surviving mosques of the Muslim world. The Umayyad Mosque of Damascus, built between 706 and 715 CE, is one of the largest and most architecturally influential mosques in Islam and houses what tradition identifies as the head of John the Baptist. The country's population is predominantly Sunni and follows the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, with significant Alawite, Druze, Christian, and Ismaili communities — historically among the most pluralistic in the region. Prayer times across Syria are typically calculated using the Egyptian General Authority method (Fajr 19.5°, Isha 17.5°). The country observes Eastern European Time (UTC+2, shifting to UTC+3 with daylight saving).
