Prayer Times in Abu Dhabi, UAE Today

Prayer times in Abu Dhabi, UAE are officially published by the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (AWQAF), which uses local astronomical observations to calculate the five daily prayer times for all seven emirates. DailyRates sources its UAE prayer data directly from AWQAF, ensuring the times shown are the same as those announced at mosques across the country.

The UAE is divided into 60 prayer areas — more granular coverage than any other GCC prayer times service. Dubai Emirate alone has multiple zones (Dubai City, Dubai East, Hatta) because the prayer start times differ by several minutes based on longitude and local horizon. Always select your specific area for the most accurate times.

The Imsak column appears during Ramadan only. Imsak marks the time approximately 10 minutes before Fajr, signalling the end of the Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) period. Outside Ramadan, only the five daily prayer times are shown.

All times are in Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4). The UAE does not observe daylight saving time, so GST is consistent year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

UAE prayer times are sourced from the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (AWQAF UAE), the official government body that determines and announces prayer times for all mosques across the seven emirates. Data is updated daily.

Prayer times differ across UAE cities because they depend on the position of the sun relative to each location. Cities at different longitudes see sunrise and sunset at slightly different times — Fujairah in the east sees sunrise a few minutes earlier than Ras Al Khaimah in the west. AWQAF maintains separate prayer schedules for all 60 UAE prayer areas.

Imsak (الإمساك) is the time approximately 10 minutes before Fajr prayer, marking the end of the Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) period during Ramadan. It only appears on DailyRates during the holy month of Ramadan. Outside Ramadan, only the five daily prayer times (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) are shown.

For UAE cities, times are sourced directly from AWQAF and are accurate to the minute — the same times announced at mosques. For other GCC countries where AWQAF data is unavailable, times are calculated using the AlAdhan API with country-appropriate methods. Minor variations of 1–3 minutes may occur compared to local mosque announcements.
