How Ras Al Khaimah's prayer times are worked out

From Ras Al Khaimah, the Qibla is 257° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,711 km (1,063 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ras Al Khaimah's own coordinates (25.79°N, 55.94°E), not a national average. That is why Ras Al Khaimah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ras Al Khaimah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ras Al Khaimah lies well west inside its Dubai time zone. So the sun peaks about 27 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:17 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 20m near June down to 11h 58m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ras Al Khaimah come from the Dubai Awqaf authority. The Dubai method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.2° below the horizon, and Isha at 18.2°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Umm Al Quwain City, Al Sajaah and Ajman. Each is only a few minutes off Ras Al Khaimah's clock.
