UAE Prayer Timings 2026: New year changes to FajrIsha schedule, Friday prayers and traffic advisory

The UAE has unified Friday prayer timings to 12:45 PM across all emirates starting January 2, 2026, simplifying schedules for families and workers. This change, part of the 'Year of the Family' initiative, aims to synchronize community events. Expect increased traffic due to school dismissals and concentrated mosque-goers, with public transport frequencies boosted. Weather remains fair with mild temperatures.
