Where can I check prayer times in Dubai?
As of November 2026, use the Awqaf timetable below for Dubai’s published prayer times. It covers November 2026 to March 2027 and shows the five daily prayers plus Shuruq (sunrise). Check the area coverage before using it outside the city zone.

Today’s prayer times and monthly timetable
Use the Dubai date row below for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. Shuruq is sunrise, shown beside the prayers to help you read the morning schedule. All entries are in UAE local time, using the 24-hour clock. An evening time beginning with 18 is after 6 pm.
The saved timetable covers November 2026 through March 2027. It is a captured official schedule, rather than a fresh calculation made when you open this page. If your date falls outside that range, use the Awqaf service linked below. A saved screenshot remains tied to the date printed on it.
Dated example: on 12 November 2026, Dubai Fajr is 05:14, Dhuhr 12:06, Asr 15:11, Maghrib 17:36 and Isha 18:52. Shuruq is 06:30. These are the published Awqaf entries, not a live “today” claim for a later visit.
Which areas does this timetable cover?
This Dubai page uses Awqaf’s Al Fahidi location, written الفهيدي in the source, in official zone 69. The authority’s location list assigns the same zone to Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Jebel Ali, Al Karama, Mirdif and many other Dubai neighbourhoods. That makes this a useful city reference without requiring separate calculations for those listed areas.
Hatta is different: Awqaf lists it in zone 71. Lahbab, Al Lisaili, Margham and Al Marmoom are among the locations listed in zone 70. An address in Dubai emirate does not automatically mean this city timetable is the correct selection. Choose your actual area on the official page before setting reminders for an outlying destination.
For a trip within the city, check where you expect to pray rather than keeping a calendar selected during an earlier holiday. For Hatta or an inland outing, save the destination’s own official row. Do not create a travel timetable by adding a fixed number of minutes to every Dubai prayer.
The five prayers and Shuruq explained
Fajr is the dawn prayer. Read it separately from Shuruq: the sunrise column is later and is not another obligatory prayer. Dhuhr, sometimes written Zuhr, is the midday prayer; Asr is the afternoon prayer. Maghrib is the sunset prayer, while Isha is the night prayer.
Searches for Dubai namaz time, salah time and azan time usually mean these same daily entries. The table gives the published prayer times. It does not show the moment a particular mosque’s congregation will stand for the prayer, known as the iqama. Ask the mosque about that arrangement rather than treating an app alert as a congregation booking.
If you are arranging a work break, write down the prayer name as well as its time. This avoids confusing Dhuhr with Friday’s separate sermon schedule. For an early departure, keep both Fajr and sunrise visible so you do not mistake the brighter part of the morning for the start of Fajr.
See Awqaf’s prayer guidance for its explanation of prayer times and observance.
How the times change from November to March
Dubai’s evening schedule moves noticeably between the saved November and March dates. The comparison below reproduces the official entries, without extending them into months for which this page has no data. It is a reminder to refresh recurring alarms rather than reusing a winter screenshot through spring.
Fajr does not move in a straight line across this period. The February row and March row show why a single monthly adjustment is unreliable. Check the day you need, even if an alarm from last week still looks plausible. For a family timetable, include the calendar date in the message you share.
| Date | Fajr | Shuruq | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-11-12 | 05:14 | 06:30 | 12:06 | 15:11 | 17:36 | 18:52 |
| 2027-02-08 | 05:39 | 06:55 | 12:36 | 15:46 | 18:12 | 19:27 |
| 2027-03-12 | 05:14 | 06:28 | 12:31 | 15:54 | 18:30 | 19:43 |
Friday sermon and Jumu’ah timing
As of November 2026, the official Friday sermon and prayer time is 12:45 pm. Awqaf’s notice states that the change took effect on Friday, 2 January 2026. Plan to be present before the sermon starts; do not interpret that time as permission to arrive only for the prayer after it.
The Dhuhr entry in the daily table remains a daily prayer-time entry. It is not a replacement announcement for Jumu’ah. Old Dubai guides and saved mosque messages can describe earlier arrangements. Use the current authority notice and check your chosen mosque for access and congregation details.
Official source and calculation method
Shared source and method note. SettleUAE reproduces Awqaf’s official-zone entries. The International Astronomical Center describes Accurate Times as software used for UAE prayer calculations. Its documentation explains that twilight settings, Asr options and location settings can affect calculated results.
The captured Awqaf metadata calls its method “official timings”. It does not disclose numerical Fajr or Isha angles or name an Asr school. We therefore do not assign those settings to these rows. An app preset called “Dubai” or “UAE” does not establish that it reproduces the published schedule.
Read the International Astronomical Center’s calculation documentation for the distinction between configurable calculations and a published timetable. Use Awqaf’s local row rather than changing these values to match an unverified preset.
Check apps, alerts and mosque congregation times
Dubai has another official source: the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department, or IACAD. It publishes the Dulook app for prayer times and Qibla direction. These are useful local checks if a generic prayer app shows a different result.
This page reproduces Awqaf’s zone timetable. We have not established that every IACAD location setting produces identical entries. If you see a difference of a minute or two, compare the selected date and place first, then consult the official service or mosque. Do not average the times or silently change only one prayer.
Before relying on notifications, check the app’s location, date and calculation settings against the official row. A phone reminder can also be set earlier than the displayed time. Keep that personal reminder clearly labelled, and check the mosque directly for its iqama interval; no fixed mosque-wide gap is supplied here.
Official Dubai checks: IACAD’s Dulook information, IACAD prayer times and Dulook DXB.
Using this timetable during Ramadan
For fasting, read Maghrib as the iftar reference and distinguish Fajr from the earlier Imsak entry. Our Dubai Ramadan guide shows those columns together, with expected dates clearly marked. The appearance of future times in a calendar does not confirm the beginning of the lunar month.
If your household includes people travelling to Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, send each person the appropriate city link. A shared meal invitation should name the city and date, then allow time for arrival and prayer. The religious timing and the restaurant’s serving arrangements are separate things.
See the iftar and suhoor guide for the fasting-column explanation. The UAE Government Ramadan page explains how the month is confirmed.
Common questions
What is Fajr prayer time in Dubai on 12 November 2026?
The captured official Dubai row gives Fajr as 05:14 on 12 November 2026. For another date, use that day’s own entry.
Does this Dubai prayer timetable cover Hatta?
No. The source is Al Fahidi in zone 69. Awqaf lists Hatta separately in zone 71. Select Hatta on the official service instead of carrying the city timetable there.
What is Maghrib prayer time in Dubai on 12 November 2026?
Awqaf lists Maghrib at 17:36 for this location on 12 November 2026. Isha is separately listed at 18:52.
When is Friday prayer in Dubai?
As of November 2026, the official Friday sermon and prayer reference is 12:45 pm under Awqaf’s notice effective from 2 January 2026. Plan to arrive before the sermon.
How should I check azan time?
Match the date and locality with the official row. Check any personal notification offset too. A small discrepancy should be checked with Awqaf or the mosque rather than averaged.
Can I keep the same daily alarm all season?
Check the relevant day’s row. The November, February and March examples show that morning and evening entries move through the saved period.
