That pace is not constant. In Shubra al Khaymah the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 1 minute 50 seconds per day, and it slows almost to a stop at the solstices in June and December. The word solstice means exactly that: the sun standing still.

When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Shubra al Khaymah?

The earliest sunset of 2026 in Shubra al Khaymah falls on 2 December at 16:54, 19 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 30 June at 20:00.

Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 23 April at 05:19, latest on 29 October at 07:06, the last morning before the clocks go back. Two of these dates are pinned by the clocks rather than by the sky: a daylight saving change in Shubra al Khaymah moves sunrise and sunset by a whole hour overnight, so the earliest and latest times on the clock land on either side of it. The rest is astronomy. Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical and its axis is tilted, so the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year. That offset, the equation of time, is what pushes the earliest sunset ahead of the shortest day and the latest sunrise behind it.

These are wall-clock times, so Shubra al Khaymah's daylight saving change is part of the picture: an hour moved by the clocks counts the same as an hour moved by the Earth.

First light in Shubra al Khaymah arrives 24 minutes before sunrise today, at 06:24. After sunset the light hangs on for another 24 minutes, until 19:03. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Shubra al Khaymah: it runs from 24 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 28 minutes at its longest, in June. The lower the angle at which the sun crosses the horizon, the longer twilight lasts, which is why dusk is a slow affair at high latitudes and abrupt near the equator.
