According to the official announcement from the UAE, Ramadan 1447 AH will start on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, following the confirmed crescent moon sighting on Tuesday evening.
Although the first day of fasting, February 18 was also proclaimed in Saudi Arabia, there are several countries in Asia and the Middle East that will observe Ramadan on Thursday, February 19, depending on the local moon observation.
Dubai will have cannons to announce iftar daily, mosques will have a long Taraweeh, and the working hours will be changed in order to fit the holy month. Festive lights are lit in the city as people are ready to live a full month of fasting, praying, and charity.
Ramadan 2026 in the UAE will begin on February 18 following the official crescent moon sighting. Dubai prepares with Ramadan cannons, prayer gatherings, and adjusted working hours.
