Common questions
- What is the time difference between London and Dubai?
- Dubai is 4 hours ahead of London in winter and 3 hours ahead in summer, when London is on BST. The table on this page lists common London hours with their Dubai equivalents, and the converter gives the exact gap for any date you enter.
- What time is it in Dubai right now?
- The Dubai panel at the top of the page shows the current local time there, next to London, so you can compare at a glance. The offset line under it reports the gap for this moment, so you do not have to work out which side of a clock change you are on.
- How do I convert a specific London time to Dubai?
- Type the London time into the box and the panel shows the same moment in Dubai. For example, 09:00 in London on 1 June 2026 is 12:00 the same day in Dubai. A time with no zone is read as London on this page; the selector under the box switches that to Dubai or to your own zone, and a Unix number or an ISO 8601 string with an offset is always read as written.
- Does the London to Dubai difference change with daylight saving time?
- Yes, twice. London moves its clocks on 29 March and 25 October in 2026, while Dubai stays at UTC+4 all year, so the gap changes by an hour on each of those dates. parsetime computes the offset for the exact instant you enter, so the days around a change come out right as well.
