In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, these times are calculated based on the sun's position using the Asia/Dubai timezone.

These calculated times are not an official UAE timetable; confirm with your local mosque. You can switch methods in the settings — the live times below will recompute instantly.
How is Fajr time calculated for Dubai?
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. On this page for Dubai, the default is the Muslim World League (MWL) method unless you have saved a different method. Your selected method is shown with the times.
Is Dubai at a high latitude?
No — Dubai is at latitude 25.2°, well within normal ranges where the sun sets and rises reliably every day. Standard prayer-time calculation methods apply directly, without high-latitude adjustments.
Do prayer times differ within Dubai?
Within the city of Dubai, prayer times differ by seconds — not enough to matter in practice. The times shown are for the city center coordinates (25.2048, 55.2708). If you're outside the metropolitan area, use the Qibla and location tools to get times for your exact location.
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.
Can I pray in hotels, malls, and offices in Dubai?
Yes — every mall, airport, hotel, hospital, and most offices in United Arab Emirates have dedicated prayer rooms (musalla) with ablution facilities. Shopping-mall musallas are typically marked with the word "Prayer Room" and the Arabic مُصَلَّى on signage.
