Prayer times
Times here are calculated astronomically using the Umm al-Qura convention with Asr at shadow ×1, which is the common practice in Saudi Arabia. The authoritative source is the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, and individual mosques vary by a few minutes. For a visitor the practical point is that many sites and shops close briefly around Dhuhr and Maghrib.
