Dubai is located 114 km north-east of Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City, so Dhuhr in Dubai is called roughly 4 minutes earlier than in Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Dubai.
