Understanding Dubai time
Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time in Asia/Dubai at UTC+04:00. The IANA identifier provides a clearer reference than the abbreviation GST, which can have other meanings outside this region.
Dubai does not currently observe daylight saving time. It keeps UTC+04:00 through the year. Its difference from a city such as London changes when that other city changes clocks.
Planning calls with Dubai
A Dubai workday can overlap with parts of the European and Asian workdays. Mumbai is one and a half hours ahead of Dubai under the current fixed offsets, so avoid rounding that difference to a whole hour in invitations.
