Iftar timing - workshop closed 5:30 - 7:30 pm
During Ramadan 2026 (17 February - 19 March) the workshop closes for iftar from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm daily. Sunset (Maghrib) shifts from approximately 6:14 pm at the start of Ramadan to 6:33 pm by the end. The 2-hour window covers the call to prayer, breaking the fast, and Maghrib prayer.
If you arrive at the workshop during iftar hours, please use the WhatsApp number (+971 55 741 3706) - a team member will message you back as soon as iftar ends and confirm a 7:30 pm or 8 pm window.
Pickup / delivery during Ramadan
- Morning slot: 10 am - 3 pm - pickup booked via WhatsApp, courier dispatched within 2 hours.
- Iftar pause: no pickups 4 pm - 8 pm.
- Evening slot: 8 pm - midnight - popular for collections and pickups since most of Dubai is awake and active during these hours during Ramadan.
- Free pickup zone: unchanged - see our pickup & delivery service guide.
Apple Store Dubai Mall - Ramadan hours
Apple Store at Dubai Mall typically operates extended evening hours during Ramadan to match mall traffic patterns:
- Sun-Wed: 10 am - 1 am.
- Thu-Sat: 10 am - 2 am.
- Genius Bar appointments often available late - but waitlists balloon after iftar (8-11 pm peak).
Apple Store Mall of the Emirates follows similar patterns. Always verify on the day via apple.com/ae - Ramadan hours can shift mid-month.
Mall traffic considerations
Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates run their busiest week of the entire year during the last 10 days of Ramadan (around Eid shopping). Genius Bar wait times routinely exceed 2 hours. If you need a quick repair before Eid travel, our workshop in Dubai Media City has zero mall traffic and same-day turnaround on most repairs - see our MacBook repair hub.
Why we stay open during Ramadan
Our team has rotated Ramadan shifts since 2004. Customers depend on us for urgent repairs that can't wait a month - work laptops with deadlines, kids' school iPads, parents' iPhones for Eid travel. The split-shift schedule (morning + post-iftar) gives the team rest during the fast and serves customers when they're actually awake and out of the house.
Eid Al Fitr 2026 (3-day public holiday around 20-22 March, exact dates announced by UAE moonsighting committee): workshop closed Eid Day 1, open reduced hours (12 pm - 8 pm) Day 2 and 3. WhatsApp monitored throughout for emergencies.
