Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Abu Dhabi today?

Sunday, May 17, 2026: moonrise 5:44 AM, moonset 7:53 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.
