Abu Dhabi
blue hour today
Blue hour in Abu Dhabi is the short, cool-toned window when the sun sits just below the horizon and the sky glows deep blue — prized for cityscapes and waterfronts. Below are today's blue hour, golden hour and sunset times.
Spring and autumn here offer the year's most photogenic skies — gentle haze, longer twilight than midsummer, and reliable color in both the morning and evening golden hours.
