The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Dubai around Dec 13-14, with up to 120 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a thin crescent moon leaves mostly dark skies, and from Dubai the radiant in Gemini climbs to 83° above the north horizon around 02:20. Local best viewing window: 21:25–05:30 UTC+04 on the peak night, about 8.1 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 119 meteors an hour from Dubai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: intermittent cloud, so patience pays off.

How to Watch from Dubai
- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well
- Lie on your back and look straight up — no telescope needed
- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face north — Gemini reaches 83° at 02:20 UTC+04, its highest while the sky is still dark
