Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Abu Dhabi today?

Tuesday, February 17, 2026: moonrise 6:53 AM, moonset 6:15 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.
