London to Dubai Time Converter
Dubai is 3–4 hours ahead of London depending on the time of year, which leaves a comfortable overlap in the working day. Use the converter below for the exact gap on any date.
Typical time difference
The UAE doesn't observe daylight saving, so Dubai stays fixed at UTC+4 year-round. London is UTC+0 in winter (GMT) and UTC+1 in summer (BST), so Dubai is 4 hours ahead of London in winter and 3 hours ahead in summer.
Best overlap for meetings
This is one of the easier long-distance pairs to schedule. London mornings (9am–1pm) line up with Dubai's early-to-mid afternoon (1pm–4/5pm), well within standard business hours on both sides. Note that the UAE's working week traditionally runs Sunday–Thursday, so London's Friday is a normal workday while Dubai's weekend has already started, and Dubai's Sunday is a workday while much of London is still on weekend time.
