Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, is in the subtropics, so nights are roughly consistent in length year-round and astronomical darkness arrives quickly after sunset.
None of the bright naked-eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rise above 10° tonight from Abu Dhabi. That's normal — planet visibility cycles roughly every 1–2 months per planet.
Sunset in Abu Dhabi tonight is at 18:30. Astronomical twilight (when the sky is fully dark) begins later.
Not tonight — there are no ISS passes above 20° altitude in your viewing window. Passes happen roughly every 90 minutes when the orbit lines up, so check again tomorrow.
