About the time in Abu Dhabi
The zone identifier Asia/Dubai is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Dubai keeps pointing at Dubai time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:59 and sunset at 06:52 local time, giving 12h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.45, 54.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Abu Dhabi.
Clocks in Abu Dhabi stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in United Arab Emirates.
