During Ramadan in 2025, Muslims in Dubai will be fasting for just over 14 hours per day according to official Dubai prayer times.
To signal the start of the fast, following the late night suhoor, you need to be aware of Fajr. This is the first prayer of the day and is before the sun rises in the morning.
The fast on Thursday March 6 begins at 5.21am.
And if you’re keeping track of when iftar time is, then you’ll need to know when Maghrib is. Maghrib comes after the sun sets.

This means that iftar time on Thursday March 6 is 6.26pm.
Fasting and iftar times will change by a few minutes every day throughout March depending on the sunrise and sunset timings.

Iftar is the name of the meal that breaks the fast, while suhoor is eaten in the early hours of the morning before the fast begins.
The Islamic Hijri calendar is based on a lunar cycle which means that months, such as Ramadan, are typically 29 to 30 days long.
This means that Ramadan moves up by about 11 days every year and that fasting hours during Ramadan can be longer or shorter depending on the time of year.
This year Ramadan officially begun on Saturday March 1.
Fasting hours will be different wherever you are in the world and can change from city to city, so if you’re visiting from Abu Dhabi then you’ll need to know about the Dubai timings instead and vice versa.
Mosques in Dubai recite the call to prayer over loudspeakers five times per day. The five obligatory prayers are called Fajr, Duhur, Asr, Maghrib and Isha.
During Ramadan, the call to prayer takes on greater significance as it acts as an indicator for when the fast begins and ends.
Why do Muslims fast during Ramadan?
Muslims fast as a means of physical and spiritual purification during the Holy Month.
Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The purpose is to increase self-discipline, humility, and empathy for less fortunate people. It is a way for Muslims to understand the struggle of hunger and thirst, and to learn self-control.
Overall, fasting during Ramadan is an important part of the Muslim faith, serving as a time for physical, mental, and spiritual renewal.
