Longest and shortest day in Sharjah
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 42m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 33m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 9m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:27 on 30 November; the latest is 19:12 on 2 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:27 on 9 June to 07:05 on 13 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Sharjah different
Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 45 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 3h 9m, one of the widest swings of any United Arab Emirates city on the site.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 52° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across October the sunset moves 27 minutes earlier, averaging about 55 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Sharjah
Arrive by 17:10. Golden hour opens at 17:25 and the sun is down by 17:56, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 263° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:10 and runs to 18:19, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
