Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Abu Dhabi today?

Tuesday, December 16, 2025: moonrise 3:47 AM, moonset 2:43 PM (GST).

Why can't I see the Moon exactly at moonrise time?

Moonrise is when the Moon's centre crosses a flat horizon. Buildings, trees, hills or haze near the horizon delay the first sighting, often by 10–20 minutes — for Karwa Chauth or Sankashti, wait until the Moon is clearly visible.
