How to use the online alarm clock
As you prepare early for the drive to the camel races at Al Marmoom, set the alarm for 7:18 am before gathering water, sunglasses and anything needed for the morning. That gives you a clear cue to finish getting ready rather than watching the clock. With 8:00 am approaching later, there is still room to leave without turning the final preparations into a rush.
While you lay out what you need for Al Marmoom, check whether silent mode will suppress or soften sounds from the browser, and raise the volume enough to hear the alert from across the room. A quick sound check can confirm the setting before you depend on it. Do not use this as the only signal for the camel races: if the browser session ends or the phone falls asleep, no alarm will interrupt your preparations.
Planning the departure around 7:18 am leaves useful breathing room for the next commitment later that day. Keep a small buffer for reaching the car, loading your things and handling slower early-morning roads outside central Dubai. If the outing runs longer than expected, that reserved time also protects the next item in your day from immediately becoming rushed.
Common questions
Can the 7:18 am alarm play a different sound?
There are several tones to choose from during setup. When 7:18 am marks the time to get ready for work, school, or Fajr, a firmer sound may be more noticeable; a softer tone can work when you only need a light prompt.
May I switch this alarm to another tone?
Sound choice is part of the alarm setup, so you can select another tone before tapping Start. For a 7:18 am alarm in a room with steady air-conditioning noise, one of the more pronounced options may be easier to hear than a gentle chime.
Is there an option to choose another alert sound?
Yes, the alarm includes a short menu of different sounds. Think about what the 7:18 am alert is for: a subtle tone may suit a daytime reminder, but an early-morning wake-up generally calls for something clearer and harder to overlook.
Could a different tone be set for this alarm?
You can choose among the available tones before the alarm begins running. If you need to be awake at 7:18 am for a commute or an appointment, a stronger option gives the alert more presence, while the quieter sounds are better suited to less urgent reminders.
