London to Dubai time — Dubai is 4 hours ahead

Dubai is 4 hours ahead of London during standard time. Once daylight saving begins the gap becomes 3 hours ahead, because the two cities do not change their clocks in step. Their normal working days overlap by roughly 5 hours.

Standard time

4 hours ahead

Applies while neither zone is on daylight saving — broadly November to March in the northern hemisphere.

Daylight saving

3 hours ahead

Applies while the clocks are forward. This pair does not keep a constant gap, so check the date.

How the two zones line up

London runs on Europe/London (UTC+0 in winter) and Dubai on Asia/Dubai (UTC+4). The difference between those offsets is what you add or subtract when converting a meeting time.

Daylight saving

There are a few hours of shared working time. Booking towards the start of the later zone's day usually suits everybody.
