Live Rahu Kaal for Dubai — calculated from today's actual sunrise at 25.204800°N, 55.270800°E.
Precise for Dubai. Not a generic IST lookup.
Most Vedic apps show the same Rahu Kaal for all of India — calculated from a generic IST formula. But Rahu Kaal is 1/8th of the actual daytime from today's sunrise at your location. Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) — no daylight saving time year-round CosmosPandit uses precision astronomy (Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms) to calculate the exact sunrise at Dubai's coordinates (25.204800°N, 55.270800°E), giving you the correct Rahu Kaal every day.
Dubai is home to over 3.5 million Indians — the world's largest Indian diaspora in any single country. From Bur Dubai's Gold Souk and the historic Shiva & Krishna Temple to the business towers of DIFC and the residential colonies of Karama and Deira, Indian culture is woven into Dubai's fabric. For millions of NRI families here, Vedic timing — Rahu Kaal, Panchang, Muhurat — remains central to daily decisions, temple visits, and business signings.
Dubai operates on Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) — 1.5 hours behind IST — with no daylight saving time. Sunrise shifts from approximately 5:53 AM in June to 7:07 AM in December. The 90-minute Rahu Kaal window moves with each day's actual sunrise, so a fixed IST-conversion produces errors of 15–90 minutes depending on the season. CosmosPandit calculates directly from Dubai's coordinates (25.2048°N, 55.2708°E), giving correct timings every day.
Dubai's Indian business community — traders, real estate professionals, medical practitioners, entrepreneurs — routinely uses Vedic timing for significant decisions: signing DED trade licences, closing property deals, launching businesses, performing griha pravesh. This page provides that data in real time, updated daily, for free.
Dubai's sunrise range across the year is relatively small (about 74 minutes difference) compared to high-latitude cities, but precision still matters — especially for business decisions where timing can mean millions of dirhams.
According to Vedic tradition, avoid during Rahu Kaal: starting new businesses, signing contracts, beginning air travel, purchasing property or vehicles, performing wedding or engagement ceremonies, starting new medical treatments, or making large investments. The CosmosPandit Muhurat Finder identifies the best Choghadiya windows (Amrit, Shubh, Labh) for each type of activity.
India uses a single timezone (IST, UTC+5:30) across 30° of longitude. But sunrise follows the sun, not the clock — every 1° of longitude – 4 minutes difference. Kolkata’s sunrise is 80 minutes earlier than Mumbai’s on the same IST day, so Rahu Kaal falls at genuinely different times in each city.
This Rahu Kaal page is just the start. The CosmosPandit app gives every Indian the full Vedic astrology toolkit — in their own language, with timings precise for their city:
No. Dubai (Asia/Dubai, UTC+4) has a fixed timezone all year — no DST changes. This makes Rahu Kaal calculations simpler than European cities. CosmosPandit handles this correctly and automatically.
Yes. The CosmosPandit app lets you set any city as your location. Abu Dhabi (24.4539°N, 54.3773°E) and Sharjah (25.3463°N, 55.4209°E) have different coordinates so they get their own precise sunrise calculations. We also have a dedicated Abu Dhabi page.
