Seriously, according to Arab News. Picture from them. I'm not sure that this is earth-shattering news, but it did raise a question in my mind.
Back when the Saudi astronaut went up on the shuttle some years back, there had to be a ruling by religious leaders about what the times of prayer might be when you're circling the earth every 90 minutes or so. The article doesn't say, but wouldn't something similar arise at 90 degrees south, where you're standing in all the time zones at once? I think in the space case they decided to use Mecca time, but may be misremembering that.
