The UAE is 1.5 hours behind IST with no daylight saving. That keeps the civil date aligned with India on most days, but sunrise in Dubai is still later than in Delhi, so Rahu Kalam and Brahma Muhurat are not the India table shifted by 90 minutes — they are recomputed from 25.2°N, 55.3°E.
The UAE does not observe daylight saving. Asia/Dubai is UTC+4 all year. Festival dates still need a local-sunrise check: a tithi that is dying at Delhi sunrise can still be current at Jebel Ali sunrise the same morning.
