Aim for post‑Fajr and late afternoon. Skip Friday Dhuhr. Check square boards for the day’s schedule.
Daily Rhythm (Typical)
- Fajr (dawn): sightseeing resumes shortly after
- Dhuhr (noon): busiest, especially Fridays
- Asr (afternoon): good post‑prayer window
- Maghrib (sunset): transition to evening
- Isha (night): interiors for worship; enjoy exteriors
Best Windows Table
| Window | Why | Caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Post‑Fajr (60–120 min) | Calm light, fewer groups | Early wake‑up needed |
| Late Afternoon | Warm tones, thinning crowds | Check Asr timing |
| Evening Exterior | Theatrical ambience | Interiors prioritize worship |
Weekly Notes
- Friday: avoid noon prayer window
- Weekends: arrive earlier; families and groups increase midday
- Midweek: balanced, still avoid noon
Micro‑Strategy
- If a prayer starts: pause, step to side aisles, resume after 30–45 minutes
- Keep a tea break buffer to re‑energize between sites
