The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 3 cities.
How United Arab Emirates decides
United Arab Emirates's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
The UAE's own Moon Sighting Committee and Council of Fatwa confirm the start each year and announced the same date as Saudi Arabia in both 2025 and 2026.
