Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai follows Gulf Standard Time (GST) at UTC+4 year-round. The UAE does not observe daylight saving time, keeping the offset constant.

A 9 AM meeting in Dubai catches London at 5 AM, New York at midnight, and Singapore at 1 PM. This mid-point position makes Dubai a natural meeting hub between Western and Asian business partners.

Dubai’s strategic position halfway between London and Singapore, combined with world-class infrastructure, has made it the go-to venue for international conferences and deal-making across time zones.
