Daylight saving in Dubai
Dubai does not use daylight saving: it stays on GST (UTC+4) all year. Its gap to cities that do change, such as New York or London, shifts by an hour when they change their clocks.

Questions about time in Dubai
What time zone is Dubai in?
Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time (IANA zone Asia/Dubai). Right now that is GST, UTC+4.
Does Dubai observe daylight saving time?
No. Dubai stays on UTC+4 all year, so its gap to other cities only changes when they change their clocks.
How do I convert a time in Dubai to my time?
Type it in the box on this page, like “3 PM Dubai Friday”. MeetETA shows it in your own time zone, using the correct offset for that date even across a daylight saving change.
