Prayer Times Dubai

What Prayer Times Dubai does

Prayer Times Dubai (legally "Prayer Times UAE") is a privately operated, bootstrapped web platform that publishes accurate Islamic prayer times for Muslims in the United Arab Emirates. The site calculates the five daily Salah timings (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) and voluntary prayers (Tahajjud, Ishraq, Chasht/Duha, Awwabin) using the Umm Al-Qura method anchored to Dubai's geographic coordinates (25.2048°N, 55.2708°E), with selectable Fiqah Hanfiya and Fiqah Jafriya calculation options. Coverage extends across all seven UAE Emirates via dedicated landing pages for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, and Al Ain, and is supplemented by a content library including a Dua Library, Famous Mosques guide, Ramadan Calendar with Sehri/Iftar timings, Wudu guide, Five Pillars explainer, and Eid/Ramadan educational content.

The platform is product-led and self-serve: users access prayer times directly via the website on desktop or mobile, with optional free account creation for prayer tracking, streak-building, and personalized reminders. Azan notifications and accessibility features (e.g., speak current time) are built in. There is no native iOS or Android app, no public API, and no SDK integrations in the source data.

The business model is advertising-based and entirely free to the end user. Revenue is generated through third-party ads served via cookies and web beacons, with no pricing tiers, subscriptions, or paid features disclosed. The entity operates with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, no institutional investors, and a single contact email on a personal Gmail address — consistent with a small, founder-operated content site rather than a venture-backed company. Operating status is active, with the site carrying a 2026 copyright and updated schedules.
