Prayer times by region in the United Arab Emirates

How prayer times are calculated in the United Arab Emirates
Pages for United Arab Emirates use the Dubai Islamic Affairs method: Fajr when the sun is 18.2° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 18.2° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+4). In the capital Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City, Fajr is about 4:05 AM and Maghrib 7:14 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:39 AM and Maghrib at 5:39 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 37 min to 13 h 39 min.
Our cities in the United Arab Emirates stretch from Ruwais in the west to Kalbā in the east, and from Ras al-Khaimah in the north to Zayed City in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Kalbā about 14 minutes before Ruwais, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City cannot replace that of your own city.
