Iftar time in Abu Dhabi is based on the astronomical sunset at 24.5°N, 54.4°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.
Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.
Today's fast in Abu Dhabi lasts 11h 51m, which is approximately 60 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are changing moderately as the season progresses.
At 24.5°N and 3m elevation in the Dubai timezone, Abu Dhabi is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 3 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.0 minutes to sunset timing.
By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 45 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Dubai at 25.3°N, this results in about 3 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi's sunset is approximately 4 minutes later than Ajman, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Abu Dhabi's sunset is approximately 6 minutes later than Ras al Khaymah, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Abu Dhabi's sunset is approximately 11 minutes earlier than Doha, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Abu Dhabi, sunset remains virtually unchanged. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 0m at the exact same time as yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Abu Dhabi, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 24.5° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Abu Dhabi's subtropical latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.
Earth's atmosphere bends light, causing the sun to appear slightly higher on the horizon than its actual position. This atmospheric refraction effect is already accounted for in our calculations, giving you the precise moment when the sun appears to cross below the horizon.
At 3m above sea level, Abu Dhabi's elevation affects when sunset occurs. Higher elevations see the sunset slightly later than lower areas. This elevation adjustment is included in all our calculations.
Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Abu Dhabi's exact location (24.47°N, 54.37°E), timezone (Asia/Dubai), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Abu Dhabi today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Abu Dhabi's exact location (24.47°N, 54.37°E) at 3m elevation. The calculation uses the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, which is followed across Gulf states.
Sehri end time in Abu Dhabi marks when the fast begins in the morning. During Ramadan, this time shifts daily as sunrise moves earlier or later. The time shown on this page is calculated for Abu Dhabi's exact coordinates using the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 24.5°N, Abu Dhabi experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Abu Dhabi vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Abu Dhabi's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Dubai, Abu Dhabi has sunset 4 minutes earlier than Dubai due to its more westerly position, and being further south means it has shorter fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Abu Dhabi is at latitude 24.47°, while Dubai is at latitude 25.26°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The Umm al-Qura 18.5° method is most commonly used by mosques in Abu Dhabi. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: Umm al-Qura 18.5°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°. Check with your mosque to confirm which they recommend, then use that method from the options available above.
