About the time in Dubai
Around 3,790,000 people live in Dubai, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 06:49 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.08, 55.31) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dubai.
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.
