Saïdia (السعيدية) is a seaside resort in the far north-east of Morocco, in the Oriental region, on the Mediterranean, near the mouth of the Moulouya and the Algerian border. Located at roughly 35.08° north latitude and 2.23° west longitude, along a long sandy beach, it has a Mediterranean climate: hot summers tempered by the sea, mild winters. Nicknamed 'the blue pearl' for its immense beach, Saïdia sees its very high latitude give its prayer times a strong seasonal swing.
Saïdia owes its rise to its long fine-sand beach, one of the largest on the Moroccan Mediterranean, which made it a major seaside resort with a modern marina. Set at the north-eastern corner of the country, at the mouth of the Moulouya, it is also marked by an old kasbah. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Saïdia sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition of the Oriental, carried by a network of neighbourhood mosques that welcome residents and summer visitors. The Friday prayer brings together a population that swells greatly in summer. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Several mosques bear the names of the Prophet's companions or recall the Almohad dynasty (Abd al-Moumen).
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Saïdia follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The Mediterranean position and the very high latitude (~35.1° N) give Saïdia prayer times with a strong seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:20 and Maghrib around 17:30 — a compressed prayer day; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:00 and Isha around 22:00–22:30 depending on the method. Located in the far north-east, the town has some of the earliest sunrises and sunsets in the country. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Saïdia has several mosques, in the town and the districts near the beach. Here are some of the most notable.
A large mosque bearing the name of King Hassan II, one of the town's main places of prayer.
A mosque dedicated to Abu Bakr Es-Seddiq, the first rightly-guided caliph and the closest companion of the Prophet.
A mosque dedicated to Abd al-Moumen, the first Almohad caliph and founder of that great Berber dynasty (12th century).
A mosque dedicated to Abdullah ibn Rawaha, a companion and poet of the Prophet, martyred at the Battle of Mu'ta.
'Al-Houda' means divine guidance. A mosque on Boulevard Moulay Youssef.

Prayer times in Saïdia are calculated using the official methods of Morocco's Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs. The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — shift a little each day as the sun's position changes. Sunrise (Shuruk) is shown too: it marks the end of the valid window for the Fajr prayer.
Each prayer is announced by the adhan, the call to prayer. The adhan time in Saïdiacorresponds to the start of each prayer listed above: Fajr at dawn, then Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib at sunset and Isha. Mosques across the city follow these same official times.
The Hijri dates shown follow the Moroccan lunar calendar, which is based on the official rukyat (moon sighting) and can differ by a day from the Saudi calendar. Note that Morocco moves its clock back by one hour during Ramadan.
