About Dubai's time zone

Dubai operates on Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) year-round with no daylight saving time. The UAE abolished DST in 2009 to align with neighboring Gulf countries. Dubai's UTC+4 position puts it 4 hours ahead of London in winter, 9 hours ahead of New York, and only 2 hours behind Singapore — making it a convenient hub for business spanning Europe and Asia.

Did you know? Dubai's work week runs Sunday to Thursday, not Monday to Friday. This means there are only 4 overlapping business days between Dubai and Western countries each week — Wednesday and Thursday in Dubai overlap with Monday and Tuesday in New York.
