About Choghadiya in Dubai

The Choghadiya for Dubai, UAE is calculated based on the local sunrise time at latitude 25.205° and longitude 55.271°. Since Choghadiya depends on sunrise and sunset, the timings differ from other cities — even nearby ones.

In summer, when days are longer, daytime slots in Dubai are longer than nighttime slots, and vice versa in winter.
