How Prayer Times Work in Dubai
Official local timetables in the UAE can differ from calculated times by a minute or two, so compare with your local masjid if you want to match congregational prayers exactly.
Midday (Dhuhr) in Dubai comes about 4 minutes earlier than in Abu Dhabi, because Dubai lies about 0.9 degrees further east. Both cities use the same clock time, and solar noon shifts by about 4 minutes for every degree of longitude.
Day length in Dubai changes through the year, from about 10 h 34 min in December to about 13 h 42 min in June. That is why Fajr, Sunrise and Maghrib move earlier or later across the seasons, and why fasting hours in Ramadan depend on the time of year. See the Ramadan calendar for Sehri and Iftar times.
