Asia/Dubai · UTC+4
Dubai sits at UTC+4 on Gulf Standard Time (GST) and stays there all year, with no seasonal clock change. Gulf Standard Time covers the UAE and Oman. The UAE moved to a Monday-to-Friday working week in 2022, so business hours now line up with Europe more neatly than they used to. Above you can see the live local time along with today's date and the day of the week, read from the Asia/Dubai zone.

Common questions
- What time is it in Dubai right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Dubai, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Dubai is always UTC+4, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Dubai?
- UTC+4, all year: Gulf Standard Time, abbreviated GST. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Dubai observe daylight saving time?
- No. Dubai stays on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Dubai?
- Asia/Dubai. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Dubai rather than one fixed number.
