UAE announces Eid Al Fitr prayer timings across seven emirates

Dubai: Eid Al Fitr prayers across the UAE are expected shortly after sunrise, with worshippers advised to arrive early as mosques are likely to be crowded. Authorities have urged residents to await the official confirmation of prayer timings following the Shawwal crescent sighting.

Since Eid prayers typically take place shortly after sunrise, they are expected to be held across the UAE between approximately 6:30am and 6:50am, depending on local sunrise times.

In Abu Dhabi, where sunrise is expected at 6:23am, Eid prayers are likely around 6:43am, while in Dubai sunrise at 6:20am would place prayers at about 6:40am. In Sharjah and Ajman, sunrise at 6:19am means prayers are expected around 6:39am, with Umm Al Quwain following similar timings.

In Ras Al Khaimah, sunrise at 6:17am suggests Eid prayers at approximately 6:37am, while in Fujairah, where sunrise is expected at 6:16am, prayers may be held around 6:36am. As mosques are expected to be crowded, worshippers are advised to arrive early, ideally between 6:00am and 6:15am.

These timings remain estimates, with official Eid prayer timings to be confirmed by authorities after the moon-sighting announcement.
