1 year ago I'm relying on this API maintain Athan Prayers API, it is well-maintained API and the owner lives in Dubai as well, I recommend you reach out to him to figure out a way to load the UAE timing calendar, he has a discord channel and usually they reply to inquiries, if they add the timing as a calculation method, the app will automatically inherit the timing.
The best way is to rely on the api provided by Awqaf in Abu Dhabi, unfortunately, they do not offer their APIs to the public and you need to be an official company to gain access, I tried to contact them a punch of times but that did not work.
in the meanwhile you can rely on the app to adjust the timing, usually, they're off by a min or 2 on a week-to-week basis, I know it is not optimal, but better than nothing.

Hi Omar First of all thanks for your efforts by bringing prayer alerts to homey, I have tried the app recently for play athan in my home. I am having an issue where i cant set the prayers timings perfectly here in UAE, Dubai.. our calculation method is different and every hijri calander year our islamic affairs issue the timing for 1 or 2 years in advance, i have dedicated server where i update the timings when ever they got updated and upload them into my server, after that we use rpi to play athan.. but the issue is we need to maintain the script from time to time. So please can we find a solution for UAE timings with your app please? I can help you with everything you need. Here is the link where we direct the rpi to read the timing when ever is the timing for a prayer is matched: https://belquhood.com/me/getTodayAzan_dubai
