How is Fajr time calculated for Abu Dhabi?
Fajr begins at true dawn (subh sadiq), when the sky first shows a horizontal band of light along the eastern horizon. Different scholarly bodies use different sun-angle values (typically 15° to 20° below the horizon) to compute this.

Does United Arab Emirates observe daylight saving time?
No — United Arab Emirates does not observe daylight saving time. The Asia/Dubai timezone stays fixed year-round, which means prayer times here are predictable from month to month. Fajr shifts earlier as summer approaches and Isha shifts later, but the clock on the wall never jumps by an hour.
