During my first visit to Dubai, I understood how important it is for a visitor to find clear prayer times quickly. A new visitor may be planning hotel check-ins, sightseeing, business meetings, meals, and travel between different parts of the city. Searching through several pages or trying to understand small timing differences can make a simple task confusing.

Residents and workers can face similar problems. They may need to arrange Dhuhr around a lunch break, pray Asr before travelling home, or plan family time around Maghrib. It may also be unclear whether an online timetable shows the start of the prayer period or the mosque’s actual congregation time.

This page provides updated Dubai Prayer Times for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. You can also check the current UAE time, the upcoming prayer, a live countdown, a seven-day schedule, and a monthly timetable.

The timetable is provided for daily planning. For congregational prayer, Jumu’ah, Ramadan, Eid, or other important occasions, always confirm the latest timing with IACAD, UAE Awqaf, or the mosque you plan to visit.

Today’s Dubai Prayer Times in UAE

The live timetable on this page shows the daily prayer schedule for Dubai. It includes:

• Fajr
• Sunrise
• Dhuhr
• Asr
• Maghrib
• Isha
• Current UAE time
• Gregorian date
• Hijri date
• Next prayer
• Live countdown

The timetable updates according to the current date in the Asia/Dubai timezone. Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time, which is UTC+4 throughout the year.

Sunrise is shown because it marks the end of the normal Fajr prayer period. It is not one of the five obligatory daily prayers.

The next-prayer section helps users see which Salah is coming next and how much time remains before it begins. This is useful for office workers, families, tourists, and people travelling around Dubai.

Calculation note: The timetable uses the AlAdhan prayer-time API with the Gulf Region calculation method, method ID 8, and the standard Asr setting. The Gulf Region method uses a 19.5-degree Fajr angle and calculates Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. These are calculated timings and should not be described as official IACAD or UAE Awqaf timings.

Prayer times in Dubai for this week

Prayer timings move slightly from one day to the next because they are connected to the position of the sun.

A seven-day schedule can help you plan:

• Work meetings
• Lunch breaks
• School routines
• Family activities
• Mosque visits
• Hotel bookings
• Sightseeing
• Travel between UAE cities

For example, an office worker can check Dhuhr before arranging a meeting. A person travelling home can check Asr before starting the journey. Families can also use the weekly timetable to plan meals and evening activities around Maghrib.

Leading Dubai prayer-time pages provide daily, weekly, or monthly schedules because many users need to plan more than one day in advance.

Monthly Dubai Prayer Timetable

The monthly calendar gives a wider view of changing Salah times in Dubai. It is useful for people planning work shifts, appointments, travel, mosque visits, or family events.

A complete monthly timetable should display:

• Gregorian date
• Day of the week
• Hijri date
• Fajr
• Sunrise
• Dhuhr
• Asr
• Maghrib
• Isha

The month and year should update automatically. A permanent heading such as “August 2026” will become outdated when a new month begins.

Khaleej Times displays the Gregorian date, Hijri date, and complete Fajr-to-Isha schedule in its monthly Dubai table. Gulf News also provides a selectable monthly timetable for Dubai and other UAE locations.

Muslim Prayers: Salah timings, Adhan and rakat

Muslims perform five obligatory prayers each day. Every prayer has a starting period based on dawn, the sun’s position, sunset, or the disappearance of evening twilight.

An online timetable normally shows when the prayer period begins. It may not show the exact time when a mosque starts its congregation.

Salah

Salah is the Islamic act of prayer and worship. It is also called Namaz by many non-Arab Muslims.

The five daily prayers allow Muslims to pause at different times of the day and focus on worship. Their times extend from early dawn until night.

The five obligatory prayers are:

• Fajr
• Dhuhr
• Asr
• Maghrib
• Isha

Khaleej Times and Gulf News both explain that the daily prayers follow the movement and position of the sun.

The five obligatory prayers

1. Fajr Prayer

Fajr is the first obligatory prayer of the day. It begins at true dawn and ends at sunrise.

Fajr includes two obligatory rakats. Many Muslims also perform two Sunnah rakats before the obligatory prayer.

During Ramadan, Fajr is also important because the daily fast begins at dawn.

Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal eaten before fasting. Some prayer calendars also display Imsak as an earlier cautionary time. Imsak and Suhoor are not the same thing, and Imsak may appear several minutes before Fajr on a timetable. Muslim Pro, for example, displays Imsak separately from Fajr.

2. Dhuhr Prayer

Dhuhr is the second obligatory prayer. Its period begins after the sun passes its highest point in the sky.

It includes four obligatory rakats. Some Muslims also perform Sunnah prayers before and after the obligatory Dhuhr prayer.

People working in Dubai often plan Dhuhr around their lunch break. When praying in a mosque, check the local Iqamah time because the congregation may begin later than the timetable shown online.

3. Asr Prayer

Asr is the afternoon prayer and includes four obligatory rakats.

Its calculated starting time may differ according to the juristic setting used. The standard setting and the Hanafi setting calculate the start of Asr differently.

The live timetable on this page uses the standard Asr setting. Users who follow the Hanafi setting should confirm the appropriate time through their mosque or preferred prayer authority.

4. Maghrib Prayer

Maghrib begins just after sunset and includes three obligatory rakats.

Its time changes throughout the year because sunset does not remain at one fixed clock time.

During Ramadan, Maghrib also marks the end of the daily fast and the beginning of Iftar. Visitors may use the Maghrib time to plan restaurant bookings, family meals, evening tours, or travel.

5. Isha Prayer

Isha is the final obligatory prayer of the day. It begins after evening twilight has disappeared and includes four obligatory rakats.

During Ramadan, many mosques hold Taraweeh after Isha. The Taraweeh congregation time may differ between mosques, so it should be checked locally.

Jumu’ah

Jumu’ah is the Friday congregational prayer. It includes a sermon and takes the place of the normal Friday noon congregation for eligible worshippers.

People attending Jumu’ah in Dubai should check the latest announcement from their mosque or the relevant UAE authority. A general timetable may show Dhuhr, but it may not display the exact sermon or congregation time.

Arriving early is helpful because major mosques may become busy before the sermon begins.

Adhan: A call to prayer

Adhan is the Islamic call announcing that the prayer period has started. It is traditionally delivered by a muezzin for the five obligatory daily prayers.

The time shown on a general prayer timetable normally refers to the start of the prayer period. It does not always show the exact time when the congregation begins inside a mosque.

What is the significance of the Adhan?

The Adhan reminds Muslims that the prayer period has begun and invites them to prepare for Salah.

Iqamah is a second call made before the congregation starts. This is why a mosque’s Iqamah time may be several minutes later than the Adhan time listed online. Gulf News also explains Adhan as the first call and Iqamah as the call made before worshippers line up for prayer.

This difference is especially important for visitors. A person may see the Adhan time online but still have time to reach a nearby mosque before the congregation begins.

Praying in the masjid

Muslims may pray in any clean and suitable place. Many also prefer to pray in a masjid, especially for Jumu’ah and other congregational prayers.

When visiting a Dubai mosque, check its schedule for:

• Iqamah
• Friday sermon
• Jumu’ah congregation
• Taraweeh
• Eid prayers
• Special Ramadan arrangements

A live timetable helps users know when a prayer period starts. The mosque’s own timetable should be followed for the congregation.

Performing Wudu before Salah

Wudu is a form of ritual purification that involves washing prescribed parts of the body before prayer.

Visitors should allow enough time to complete Wudu before the congregation starts. Many Dubai mosques provide ablution areas, but these areas may become busy close to prayer time.

Rakats in Salah

A rakat is one unit of Islamic prayer. It includes standing, recitation, bowing, prostration, and sitting.

The obligatory rakats are:

• Fajr: two
• Dhuhr: four
• Asr: four
• Maghrib: three
• Isha: four

These numbers are also listed in the supporting Salah guides published by Khaleej Times and Gulf News.

Different types of prayers

In addition to the five obligatory daily prayers, Muslims may perform other prayers, including:

• Jumu’ah on Friday
• Sunnah prayers
• Nafl or voluntary prayers
• Tahajjud during the night
• Taraweeh during Ramadan
• Witr after Isha
• Eid prayers

The timing and method of these prayers may differ. For mosque congregations, follow the announcement of the mosque or the relevant UAE authority.

How Dubai Prayer Times Are Calculated

Prayer timings are based on astronomical calculations linked to the sun’s position.

A calculation method may define:

• The angle used for Fajr
• The angle or time used for Isha
• The Asr juristic setting
• The location coordinates
• Rounding or minute adjustments

The live tool on this page uses the AlAdhan Gulf Region method. AlAdhan identifies it as method 8, with Fajr calculated at 19.5 degrees and Isha calculated 90 minutes after Maghrib.

The tool also uses the Asia/Dubai timezone so that Dubai time remains correct even when a visitor opens the page from another country.

Why Dubai Prayer Times May Differ

Two reliable websites may display prayer times that differ by a few minutes.

Possible reasons include:

• Different calculation methods
• Different Fajr or Isha settings
• Standard or Hanafi Asr settings
• Different coordinates
• Local authority adjustments
• Rounding rules
• Different data refresh times

AlAdhan states that its Gulf Region calculations may differ from Dubai IACAD or UAE Awqaf by approximately one to five minutes. It recommends using the method connected with the issuing authority closest to the user’s location.

A small difference does not always mean that one timetable is wrong. For congregational prayer, follow the timetable used by your local mosque or official authority.

Prayer Times in Other Cities of United Arab Emirates

Prayer times are not exactly the same in every UAE city. Small differences appear because each city has different coordinates.

A traveller should select the correct city when moving between:

• Dubai
• Abu Dhabi
• Sharjah
• Ajman
• Al Ain
• Ras Al Khaimah
• Fujairah
• Umm Al Quwain
• Jebel Ali

Muslim Pro, Khaleej Times, and Gulf News provide separate prayer schedules or selectors for several UAE cities.

Do not assume that a Dubai timetable will always match Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or Fujairah.

Official Dubai and UAE Prayer-Time Sources

The timetable on this page is calculated for convenient daily planning. It is not an official government timetable.

For official or important religious announcements, users should check:

• Dubai’s Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department
• The UAE General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat
• Their local mosque

These sources are especially important for Jumu’ah, Ramadan, Taraweeh, Eid, and changes announced by UAE authorities.

Dulook DXB

Dulook DXB is connected with Dubai’s Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department.

IACAD describes it as a government-issued service that uses astronomical, Sharia-compliant criteria under the supervision of the International Astronomical Center.

UAE Awqaf

UAE Awqaf provides an official UAE prayer-time service. Its timetable should be consulted when users need official national or emirate-level guidance.

Final Thoughts on Dubai Prayer Times

During my first visit to Dubai, I learned that checking Dubai Prayer Times involves more than finding five numbers on a screen. A visitor also needs to understand whether the displayed time is for Adhan or Iqamah, whether the timetable is calculated or official, and whether the selected city is correct.

That experience is why this page puts the most useful information first. The live timetable, UAE clock, next-prayer countdown, weekly schedule, and monthly calendar make daily planning easier for residents, workers, families, tourists, and business travellers.

The methodology is also shown clearly. The timetable uses the AlAdhan Gulf Region calculation method, the standard Asr setting, and the Asia/Dubai timezone. However, calculated online times may differ slightly from IACAD, UAE Awqaf, or an individual mosque.

Use this page for quick daily planning, but follow official announcements and your mosque’s own timetable for congregational prayer, Jumu’ah, Ramadan, Taraweeh, Eid, and other important occasions.
