Prayer Times in Fujairah

Fujairah is the only UAE emirate not on the Persian Gulf — it sits on the Gulf of Oman, facing the Indian Ocean. This eastward position means Fujairah experiences sunrise and sunset earlier than the rest of the UAE by about 3–4 minutes. Using a generic "UAE" time in Fujairah would be noticeably off. Coordinates: 25.1164°N, 56.3414°E. Method: IACAD (method=16).

Fujairah's landscape is mountainous — the Hajar range descends to the coast here. For worshippers in villages tucked into the mountains, prayer times differ from the city by under a minute; the geographic calculation handles this automatically.

Calculation Method

Fujairah prayer times on Dhikr use the IACAD method (method=16), the standard published by the UAE's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department. Every official UAE mosque uses this method, so the times shown match what you hear from the minarets.

Jumu'ah in Fujairah

Jumu'ah (Friday congregational prayer) time in Fujairah follows the official GAIAE decree applied across all UAE emirates — typically 12:15 PM in summer and 12:30 PM in winter. The khutba begins shortly after the adhan. Smaller neighborhood mosques and major city mosques synchronize to the same decree.

Sunnah Rak'ahs

Each obligatory prayer carries emphasized Sunnah rak'ahs narrated in authentic hadith. Dhikr shows them alongside the main times with the hadith collection and number — so every claim is verifiable. See the Hadith Reader for the full narrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Fujairah prayer times differ most from Dubai's?
Fujairah sits on the Gulf of Oman — the UAE's east coast — about 120 km east of Dubai. Sunrise arrives in Fujairah about 4 minutes earlier than in Dubai, and Maghrib (sunset) also shifts. This is the largest inter-emirate time difference in the UAE because Fujairah faces the Indian Ocean instead of the Persian Gulf.
Does Fujairah use a different calculation method?
No — method=16 (IACAD) applies across all 7 emirates. Only the coordinates change.
Are Khor Fakkan and Dibba covered?
Khor Fakkan is an exclave of Sharjah on the east coast, 25 km south of Dibba. Dibba itself is split between Sharjah, Fujairah, and Oman. Prayer times for both are close to Fujairah city times. For exact accuracy in these areas, use the custom-coordinates prayer tool.
Is Fujairah's Jumu'ah time the same as the west coast?
Yes. Jumu'ah adhan time follows the UAE-wide GAIAE decree — typically 12:15 PM in summer and 12:30 PM in winter — applied uniformly across all emirates regardless of coast.
Does the east coast have a separate moon sighting?
No. The UAE Moon Sighting Committee's announcements apply to the whole country. Fujairah observes the same Ramadan start and Eid dates as Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
