Time difference and daylight saving

Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time all year and does not change its clocks. It is 4 hours ahead of London during winter (GMT) and 3 hours ahead during British Summer Time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.

Select a date and time above to compare the exact difference.

Finding a meeting time

Working days overlap well. With 8 AM–5 PM schedules, the shared window is 8 AM–1 PM in London (noon–5 PM in Dubai) in winter, and 8 AM–2 PM in London (11 AM–5 PM in Dubai) in summer. Morning in London is the best time for a call. The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday, with a Saturday–Sunday weekend, though some organizations keep shorter Friday hours.

Use Working hours to set each city’s local schedule. Suggestions use 8 AM–5 PM by default, include weekends, and do not check holidays or calendars. Add to calendar exports your chosen moment; it does not send invitations.
