Prayer Times in Ras Al Khaimah — 2024

Accurate prayer times for Ras Al Khaimah on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:35, Shuruq 05:56, Dhuhr 12:17, Asr 15:47, Maghrib 18:38, Isha 20:08. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Dubai timezone (UTC+4), the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Ras Al Khaimah: 25.7895, 55.9432. Time zone Asia/Dubai (UTC+4) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 350,000 people.

Ras Al Khaimah is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 05:56 and Maghrib is at 18:38. Dhuhr (12:17) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Ras Al Khaimah.

The Umm al-Qura University, Makkah method is the starting point on this Ras Al Khaimah page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. Official Gulf tables generally follow Umm al-Qura, with Isha a fixed interval after Maghrib rather than a twilight angle.

Travellers through Ras Al Khaimah should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Ras Al Khaimah is 256.9° from true north (WSW), about 1,711 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Ajman (61 km), prayer times in Sharjah (72 km), prayer times in Dubai (94 km), prayer times in Al Ain (177 km), prayer times in Abu Dhabi (217 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Ras Al Khaimah is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
