Why Dubai's Sunrise and Sunset Times Change Through the Year
Dubai's day length swings by roughly 3 hours between winter and summer — around 10 hours 37 minutes at the December solstice, stretching to about 13 hours 38 minutes by June, driven by the sun's changing angle relative to Dubai's latitude near 25°N.
The UAE has no daylight saving time adjustment, unlike many countries — the clock stays fixed at UTC+4 (Gulf Standard Time) year-round, so any shift in sunrise/sunset comes purely from the earth's orbital position, not a clock change.
How This Is Calculated
Solar position is determined using the NOAA solar calculation method, based on Dubai's fixed coordinates and the calendar date — the same core approach official astronomical sources use.
This isn't pulled from a third-party API — every calculation runs directly in your browser using your device's own clock, meaning it works instantly and stays accurate indefinitely without needing updates.
Pro tip: Sunset times matter for more than photography — Maghrib prayer time is calculated to coincide almost exactly with sunset, so this page's sunset time is a reliable cross-check against your prayer times app if the two ever seem to disagree.
