A free guide to praying at airports.
A Room to Pray lists prayer rooms at airports around the world: where they are, whether they’re before or after security, whether there is somewhere to make wuḍūʾ, whether women have a private space, and which way the qibla is. It covers 111 airports so far, and we add more every month.
It is published by Inheriting Islam LLC, the publisher of Life Is Temporary and First Adhān. It is independent: no airport runs it or pays for it. There are no ads and nothing to buy.
Editor
A Room to Pray is edited by Hamza Abdul-Tawwaab, founder of Inheriting Islam. He reviews every change to the listings and every traveller report before it goes live. Write to him through the contact page.
How we check
Each listing starts from the airport’s own website or an official release, and links to it. When a site can’t be reached from where we work, we use an archived copy or a search excerpt of the official page, and the listing says so. Anything that comes from somewhere other than the airport is marked “Not from the airport”. Each listing shows the date we last checked its source.
When an airport’s website lists no prayer or quiet room, we say exactly that, with the date. It doesn’t always mean there is no room, so please tell us if you know of one.
The qibla shown is the great-circle bearing from the airport to the Kaʿbah, measured from true north. It is a fixed number, not a live compass. If a room has its own qibla marker, use it.
Asking airports for a room
Where a room, washing facilities or a private space for women isn’t listed, the airport page offers a short, polite message and a link to the airport’s own feedback page. You send it yourself, in your own name, if you choose to. We never contact airports on your behalf.
Privacy
We don’t use cookies, ads or tracking. We count how many times each airport’s feedback link is opened, with no personal details. If you send a report, we store what you wrote, the airport, the month you were there and the time you sent it, so an editor can check it; reports are deleted automatically after 180 days. To stop spam, we keep a keyed one-way code made from your network address for one day only. Please don’t include your name, email or phone number in a report. If you use the contact page and choose to give an email address, we use it only to reply to you, and delete the message after 180 days.
Corrections
Found something wrong or out of date? Open the airport’s page and use “Been through recently? Tell us”, or write to us on the contact page. The editor checks every report against the airport before anything changes. Use of the site is covered by our terms.
