Ramadan 2026 Imsakiyah Times in Dubai

Dubai is set to move into Ramadan 1447 this week, and daily fasting times will keep shifting by about a minute as the month progresses. For official confirmation and prayer-time guidance in Dubai, contact the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department at Al Mamzar, near Al Shabab Club, behind Dubai Bowling Centre, Dubai, toll free 800600, or telephone 04 608 7777. For moon-sighting updates, the UAE committee also accepts reports on 02 777 4647, and it meets after sunset on Tuesday, 17 February 2026.

Because the start depends on moon sighting, Ramadan may begin on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, or shift to Thursday, 19 February 2026. If the start shifts, you can simply treat the first day timings as the next day’s row, and you stay aligned. Keep in mind that local mosque boards can differ by a minute or two, so it helps to double-check near your neighborhood mosque before the first suhoor.

Getting around Dubai for prayer times and iftar plans

Because traffic builds fast before sunset, you will feel the pinch most on Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown approaches, Deira bridges, and the roads around major malls. Also, taraweeh prayers tend to bring a second wave after isha, so you should plan arrivals early if you drive with family (family-friendly). If you come from Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, leave earlier than usual, and aim to arrive well before maghrib so you avoid the last-hour rush (suitable for couples, solo). For transport updates during Ramadan, you can rely on RTA service hours and plan around Metro operating windows, especially on late-night weekends.

Practical Ramadan weather and road notes for Dubai

Early Ramadan looks dry and warm, so light breathable clothing works during the day, while a thin layer helps after midnight near the coast. However, the mid-month outlook shows a higher rain chance around Friday, 13 March 2026 and Saturday, 14 March 2026, and that matters because wet roads also slow down the pre-iftar commute. If showers arrive, avoid sandy shoulders and unpaved parking areas, because they turn muddy quickly, and instead use Metro plus a short walk when you can. Paid public parking tariffs in Dubai typically run 8:00am to 6:00pm and 8:00pm to 12:00am during Ramadan, while multi-storey facilities run 24 hours, so factor that in when you pick a mosque or an iftar spot; for quick help, the RTA call centre answers on 800 9090. If you book an iftar buffet or a set menu, prices are approximately AED 80 to AED 350, and venues can change them without much notice, so call ahead before you go. According to updates often tracked by the editor at www.few.ae, residents get the best experience when they plan travel around maghrib rather than fighting it.
