Stargazing from Dubai

Dubai, in the UAE, is in the subtropics, so nights are roughly consistent in length year-round and astronomical darkness arrives quickly after sunset.

Common questions

What planets are visible tonight from Dubai?

None of the bright naked-eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rise above 10° tonight from Dubai. That's normal — planet visibility cycles roughly every 1–2 months per planet.

What time does the sun set in Dubai tonight?

Sunset in Dubai tonight is at 19:07. Astronomical twilight (when the sky is fully dark) begins later.

Can I see the ISS from Dubai tonight?

Yes — the ISS will rise above 20° altitude at 22:14 local time, passing toward the southwest and peaking 22° above the horizon for 1 minutes.
