Praying in Abu Dhabi
Isha in Abu Dhabi moves by nearly two hours between its earliest and latest dates: 6:54 PM on 20 November, a month before the winter solstice, and 8:44 PM on 21 June, exactly on the summer solstice. For a city this far south, the evening prayer moves more than its latitude might suggest.
Abu Dhabi sits west of the Dubai and Sharjah belt, so its times run a few minutes later than theirs. Its shortest fast, 12h 02m, lands on the winter solstice itself, 22 December, while the longest is 15h 12m on 17 June.

Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time is highlighted for Abu Dhabi?
The Standard time, which starts when a shadow is as long as the object plus its noon shadow. A Hanafi reading, with a shadow twice as long, arrives later in the afternoon. You can switch the highlight with the toggle above the monthly table.
Which direction is the Qibla from Abu Dhabi?
The bearing is 260 degrees clockwise from true north, which is just south of due west. Makkah lies across the Arabian Peninsula. Check it against the compass on this page before laying your mat.
How many mosques does OpenStreetMap list near Abu Dhabi?
OpenStreetMap lists 267 mosques within 15 km of the city centre, with the nearest shown on this page. Smaller prayer rooms may be missing from volunteer data, and congregation times are set by each mosque, so check its notice board.
When is the shortest fast in Abu Dhabi?
On 22 December, the day of the winter solstice, the span from Fajr to Maghrib is 12h 02m. Compare that with 15h 12m on 17 June. The latest Fajr, 5:48 AM, comes a month later, on 18 January.
How short is the summer night in Abu Dhabi?
Fajr is earliest at 4:04 AM on 6 June, and Isha is latest at 8:44 PM on 21 June. That leaves a little over seven hours between the night prayer and dawn in June, far less than on a winter night.
