How prayer times vary across the United Arab Emirates
On Thursday, 29 October 2026, Fajr begins earliest in Fujairah (5:02 AM) and latest in Abu Dhabi (5:10 AM), a spread of 8 minutes on the clock. Maghrib, when the fast is opened in Ramadan, runs from 5:39 PM in Fujairah to 5:48 PM in Abu Dhabi. All of these cities share one time zone, so the differences come only from where each city lies.
