Dubai Time Zone Guide

Dubai operates on Gulf Standard Time (GST), which is UTC+4. Unlike most Western countries, Dubai does not observe daylight saving time — the clock never changes. This makes Dubai a simpler timezone to convert to, though the gap with DST-observing countries shifts seasonally.

Dubai Workweek: Sunday–Thursday

Since January 2022, the UAE has followed a Monday–Friday government workweek, but traditional private sector businesses still commonly operate Sunday through Thursday. The weekend is Friday and Saturday. This is important for international business scheduling.

Global Business Hub

Dubai is a major financial and trade hub bridging Asia, Europe, and Africa. Its timezone (UTC+4) overlaps with European morning hours and Asian afternoon hours, making it an ideal location for companies with global operations.

Dubai Financial Market (DFM)

The DFM trades Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM GST. Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange operates on a similar schedule.
