I know its 1hr for EK to EK
I would recommend at least 2, if your luggage isnt checked through. The walk from the gate to immigration is around 25 minutes and the walk from check in to the gate is also quite a bit, so I wouldnt do anything less than 2 hours. I know that most european flights arrive around midnight, and most cmb flights depart after 230am or so, so you should be fine
